EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur and elegance of the early 20th century. The image showcases the annexe of B saloon on board RMS Olympic, a majestic liner belonging to the renowned White Star Line. Built between 1920-21, this ship was not only a sister vessel to the ill-fated Titanic but also its other sibling, Britannic. Bedford Lemere and Company were commissioned by the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, better known as the White Star Line, to capture this remarkable moment in history. Presumably taken at Southampton docks, where countless voyages began and dreams set sail, this photograph exudes an air of anticipation and adventure. The intricate details within B saloon's annexe are awe-inspiring; from ornate furnishings to delicate light fixtures that illuminate every corner with warmth and sophistication. One can almost imagine passengers leisurely strolling through these opulent halls or engaging in lively conversations over exquisite meals. As we gaze upon this maritime masterpiece captured by Historic England Archive, we are transported back to an era when ocean liners reigned supreme as symbols of luxury travel. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both the triumphs and tragedies that befell these magnificent vessels throughout their storied histories.
