EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the R.M.S. Oceanic, a historic transatlantic ocean liner built for the White Star Line in 1899. As the largest ship in the world at the time, the R.M.S. Oceanic set sail on her maiden voyage on September 6, 1899, leaving an indelible mark on maritime history. Norman Wilkinson, a renowned artist, created this engraving for "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX," published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. The print captures the grandeur and majesty of the R.M.S. Oceanic as she cuts through the water, leaving a trail of smoke behind. The ship's impressive size is accentuated by the vast expanse of the sea and the seemingly insignificant geographical features in the background. The R.M.S. Oceanic represented a significant advancement in passenger transport during the 20th century. Its size and capabilities revolutionized transatlantic travel, offering passengers a more comfortable and luxurious experience. This print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the era, showcasing the power and beauty of human innovation. Norman Wilkinson's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving, which captures the ship's every curve and line. The contrast between the stark, white ship and the dark, rolling waves adds depth and texture to the image. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime art or historical records, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the incredible feats of engineering and design that have shaped our world.
