EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pairing of postcards from the William Affleck Anderson Archive presents a captivating glimpse into the early days of ocean liner travel. The top postcard, titled "Funnels of Mauretania and Lusitania at Canada Dock, 14 October 1909," depicts the iconic Cunard sisters, RMS Mauretania and RMS Lusitania, docked in Canada during their historic visit to London. The sisters, both built for the Cunard Line, were the epitome of luxury and innovation in the early 20th century. Mauretania held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing, while Lusitania was the largest ship in the world at the time of her launch. The postcard captures the sisters' impressive funnels, which were a symbol of their power and sophistication. The bottom postcard, simply titled "Lusitania or Mauretania at sea," offers a breathtaking view of one of the sisters in her element. The image of the ship sailing on the vast expanse of the sea underscores the sense of adventure and freedom that ocean liner travel offered during the Edwardian era. The 1900s were a golden age for transatlantic travel, and these magnificent vessels were the embodiment of luxury and comfort for passengers making the journey between Europe and North America. These postcards serve as a poignant reminder of a bygone era in transportation history, when travel by sea was an experience in and of itself.
