EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1920s, showcasing the elegant Verandah Cafe aboard the RMS Olympic. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to an era of grandeur and luxury on the high seas. The Verandah Cafe was a delightful oasis within this magnificent ship, offering passengers a place to relax and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding ocean. The cafe's interior exudes opulence with its lavish decor and ornate furnishings that reflect the finest craftsmanship of that era. Commissioned by the White Star Line, renowned for their impeccable service and attention to detail, this photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents a significant chapter in maritime history. The RMS Olympic was sister ship to both Titanic and Britannic – vessels forever etched into our collective memory due to their tragic fates. Taken at Southampton docks by Bedford Lemere and Company, experts in architectural photography during that period, this image showcases not just a cafe but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. It reminds us of an era when these majestic liners ruled the oceans with grace and elegance. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, this print allows us to appreciate both the beauty of design found aboard these ships as well as pay homage to those who sailed them across vast expanses of water. It is through such images that we can continue reliving history while honoring those who came before us.
