EDITORS COMMENTS
The Maiden Voyage of the SS Normandie from Le Havre on May 29, 1935, was a momentous occasion in the history of transatlantic travel. This stunning colour lithograph captures the grandeur and elegance of this iconic ocean liner as it set sail for the first time. Designed by Albert Sebille, this print showcases the innovative Art Deco interiors and sleek design that made the SS Normandie the largest and fastest passenger ship in the world at that time.
The SS Normandie was a symbol of luxury and sophistication, with its spacious cabins, elegant dining rooms, and state-of-the-art amenities. As it glided through the waters of Saint-Nazaire, France, passengers aboard were treated to a truly unforgettable experience.
Sadly, despite its illustrious beginnings, tragedy struck when the SS Normandie caught fire during World War II while being converted into a troopship. The decision was made to scrap her in 1946 due to the extensive damage caused by the fire.
This beautiful lithograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era when ocean liners like the SS Normandie represented not just a mode of transportation but also an embodiment of glamour and adventure on high seas. It is a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that continues to captivate us even today.
