1883 Awning Bell Deck Passengers Provide Shade Games Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this engraving depicting a leisurely moment on a passenger liner in 1883. Two passengers are seen engrossed in a game of Bull, a popular deck game, as they enjoy the cool shade provided by the ship's awning. The awning, an essential feature for passenger comfort during long voyages, shields them from the sun and the occasional rain. The ship's bell, a vital navigational tool, can be seen on the left, adding an authentic touch to the scene. The image, which hails from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to an era when travel by sea was a grand adventure. With the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out before them, the passengers could not have asked for a more idyllic setting to unwind and pass the time. This historical engraving offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of ocean travel during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures that made the journey worthwhile, even before the advent of modern amenities and entertainment options. The intricate details of the passengers' attire, the ship's design, and the game equipment all contribute to the richness of this image. Whether you're an avid history buff, a collector of vintage prints, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this engraving is sure to be a welcome addition to your collection.
