From the jacket: "From around 1880 for almost a hundred years, shipowners commissioned a wealth of paintings that depicted, as well as their magnificent liners, the routes they travelled, their exotic destinations, and life on board. These paintings, rich in imagination and atmosphere, appeared on postcards and posters of the day and were used to advertise the companies and their ships; and so was born a whole genre that produced tens of thousands of paintings which formed a wonderful record of the great era of the passenger liner." Features more than five hundred postcards and includes a glossary of around 170 illustrators. Extensive text. A great resource or fun just to page through.
