Again an incredibly preserved and beautiful example. The condition is magnificent, and the piece is illustrated front and back. A wonderful Gala ribbon or hat tally from Bremen. This item was accompanied by many menus and ephemera dated 1908, so it is undoubtedly from the Barbarossa Class vessel built in 1897. Excellent black and white photographs are numerous, and the book is complete with color illustrations of original sailing posters used for advertising.
Fascinating text makes fun reading for the neophyte or even the seasoned salt.
Hard cover with dust jacket. 130 pages with numerous photos, first quality, telling of the advent of the cruise business as a sequel to the North Atlantic Ferry. It would be interesting to learn if the china was in fact used after the ship entered White Star Line service. 32 pages with 20 large black and white photos, and a portrait of the ship painted by Charles Dixon. The reverse cover and the edges of the front cover show some darkening, and there is a tear to the lower edge of the reverse cover, which has been repaired.
