EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the elegant world of early 20th century transportation. On board the SS Medina, a luxurious steamship that sailed the seas during this era, we are transported into "The Music Salon, Looking Aft". This room exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. The salon is adorned with exquisite furniture, including a grand piano at its center. It was in such salons that the popular music genre known as salon music flourished in Europe during the 19th century. Composed in a romantic style for solo piano, these pieces were often performed by their creators at exclusive events held in similar settings. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we can almost hear the enchanting melodies filling the air. The table is set with delicate details while chairs await guests who would have reveled in lively conversations amidst harmonious tunes. It's fascinating to imagine esteemed figures from history gracing this very room. Perhaps King George V himself or even his son Prince of Wales frequented this space during their time on board. Such distinguished individuals were known to appreciate art and culture, making it likely that they found solace within these refined surroundings. This remarkable print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into an opulent world where transport merged seamlessly with leisure and artistic expression prevailed.
