EDITORS COMMENTS
This book cover, designed by Gerald Aylmer for the publication "RMS Mauretania: The Ship and her Record," published by Percival Marshall & Co Ltd in 1934, transports us back to the golden age of ocean liner travel in the 1930s. The image showcases the majestic RMS Mauretania, a symbol of luxury and leisure, as she cuts through the tranquil waters with her distinctive black, red, and white funnels billowing out plumes of smoke. The large, elegant ship, adorned with rigging and the proud Cunard Line lion emblem, exudes an air of opulence and sophistication. The 1930s, a decade marked by economic uncertainty and political instability, saw the cruise industry flourish as an escape from the mundane. The RMS Mauretania, one of the fastest and most luxurious ocean liners of her time, represented the epitome of transport and travel innovation. This cover art, with its striking contrast of black, red, and white against the deep blue sea, encapsulates the allure of ocean travel during this era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when the simple act of embarking on a transatlantic voyage was an adventure in itself. The RMS Mauretania, with her regal presence and unmatched elegance, continues to captivate us and remind us of the romance and luxury of a bygone era.
