ANON. Cunard Line (RMS Carmania), Liverpool via Queenstown, New York, Boston.
Original lithograph with colour, linen backed, printed by Delittle Fenwick & Co, York, c.1907. 1010 x 630 mm.
RMS Carmania carried passengers between Liverpool and New York from 1905 to 1910. In the spring of 1906 she took H. G. Wells to North America for the first time. He noted her qualities in a book about his travels, "There are, one must admit, tremendous justifications for the belief in a sort of automatic ascent of American things to unprecedented magnificences, an ascent so automatic that indeed one needn't bother in the slightest to keep the whole thing going. For example, consider this, last year's last-word in ocean travel in which I am crossing, the Carmania with its unparalleled steadfastness, its racing, tireless great turbines, its vast population of 3244 souls! It has on the whole a tremendous effect of having come by fate and its own forces".
Very rare.
