EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1920s, offering a glimpse into the luxurious interior of the second-class smoking room aboard the RMS Olympic. As sister ship to both the legendary Titanic and Britannic, this grand vessel was part of an era defined by opulence and elegance at sea. Commissioned by the esteemed White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, this Bedford Lemere and Company photograph captures a moment frozen in history. The image is believed to have been taken at Southampton docks, where countless voyages began for those seeking adventure or new beginnings across vast oceans. The scene depicted showcases a beautifully adorned space that exudes sophistication. Rich wood paneling lines the walls while plush leather armchairs invite passengers to relax and indulge in their favorite tobacco blends. Soft lighting casts a warm glow upon gentlemen engaged in animated conversations or quietly contemplating life's mysteries amidst swirling smoke. This remarkable snapshot offers more than just a visual feast; it encapsulates an era when ocean liners were not merely modes of transportation but floating palaces designed to cater to every passenger's desire for comfort and pleasure. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maritime history and its ability to transport us back in time through evocative imagery such as this one from Historic England Archive.
