EDITORS COMMENTS
Passengers unwind aboard a Red Star liner, 1907. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the leisurely activities enjoyed by men on board an ocean liner during a transatlantic crossing. The Smoking Lounge serves as their exclusive retreat, where they engage in friendly chess matches and immerse themselves in the ship's newspaper. The image reflects the social norms of its time, with women excluded from this particular space. Nevertheless, it offers us a fascinating window into early 20th-century gender dynamics and societal expectations. Operated by the renowned Red Star Line, which connected Antwerp in Belgium to Dover in England and New York City in the United States, these liners were at the forefront of transportation technology and luxury travel. Passengers reveled in opulent interiors while traversing vast oceans. This postcard-sized print showcases not only the passengers' pastimes but also highlights elements such as fashion choices and decor that define this era. The Edwardian gentlemen are impeccably dressed for evening relaxation amidst elegant surroundings. Captured by an unknown creator, this photograph encapsulates both historical significance and artistic beauty. It transports us back to an era when ocean liners represented more than just modes of transport; they embodied dreams of adventure and escape across vast distances.
