EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print showcases a precious moment in maritime history, captured at Witley Park in Godalming, Surrey, during the summer months of August and September in 1913. The image features the autographs of Lord and Lady Pirrie, key figures in the Anglo-Irish Society, who played a pivotal role in the planning, design, and construction of the iconic Olympic class liners. The Pirries are seen here in the company of a beautiful watercolour painting of a garden nymph, artfully signed by B. Bramwell-Smith. The serene image of the nymph, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, adds an enchanting touch to the scene. Lord Pirrie, a prominent industrialist and shipbuilder, was the chairman of Harland and Wolff, the renowned Belfast-based shipbuilding company responsible for constructing the Olympic class liners. His wife, Lady Pirrie, was an influential figure in her own right, known for her philanthropic endeavors and support of various charitable organizations. This piece of ephemera from the early 1910s offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of these important figures, whose contributions to the transportation industry revolutionized travel and transportation during this era. The Pirries' connection to the Anglo-Irish Society further highlights the international and multifaceted nature of the maritime world at the turn of the 20th century. This photograph print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on maritime history, Anglo-Irish society, or the history of transportation. Its authenticity is further underscored by the presence of the Pirries' autographs and the beautiful watercolour painting, making it a truly unique and valuable piece for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
