From around 1880 for almost 100 years ship owners commissioned a wealth of paintings that depicted, as well as their magnificent liners, the routes they traveled, their exotic destinations, and life on board. These paintings, rich in imagination and atmosphere, appeared on posters and postcards to advertise the companies and their ships; and so was born a whole genre that produced tens of thousands of images that form a wonderful record of the great era of the passenger liner.Here, bought vividly to life in more than 500 colorful postcards, are the ships in which so many of our predecessors sailed, as emigrants, soldiers or administrators in distant lands, or simply as tourists. These cards - now highly collectible - show how the ships developed over the years, and are also a fine tribute to the artists who painted them. A glossary of some 170 illustrators forms an important reference section in the book; the author also gives useful advice on collecting.This new paperback edition will
Author Christopher Deakes worked for many years as a shipping agent in the Far East and different parts of Africa. He has carried out research for this book with the help of many different origanizations, including embassies, museums and libraries, auction houses, art galleries and dealers, universities and shipping lines, both in the UK and abroad, and his remarkable collection of postcards forms the core of this work.
We grown ups know better. Perhaps the author was just a bit fixated in this area. The book can too short sometimes, leaving the reader wondering what to do next.
Volvo is a company that needs more car manuals. Product was in better shape than I expected and I plan to use it to supplement other repair manuals I have for my Volvo 850 wagon.. While negotiating at the dealership, I realized that these accounts are certainly not fiction. It read like a porn script. I failed to find texts on either logboats, anchor types, or ship building and the clinker boat type. Great dynamics between the characters. Yes, this book does cover a models, and for that I give it two stars. Constant access to broadband videos might warp our perspective on what is going on or coming off in the world.. For anything a lot more extensive, you do need additional references. Suddenly terms as 'water' at a dealership, and 'in the bucket' will keep you empowered.
