EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Afternoon Tea aboard a ship of the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) from the 1920s. The elegant scene takes place in the ship's sumptuous lounge, where passengers don their finest attire, including fur coats, to enjoy a refined moment of relaxation. The lounge's verandah offers a breathtaking view of the vast ocean, as the ship cuts through the waves. A waiter, impeccably dressed in formal attire, pours steaming hot water from an elegant urn into delicate teacups. The table is laden with a variety of delectable treats, including sandwiches, scones, and pastries, all presented on fine china. The NYK Line, a renowned Japanese shipping company, was known for its commitment to providing first-class service to its passengers. This image showcases the company's dedication to creating a luxurious and enjoyable experience for its customers, even while at sea. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back to a bygone era, where the simple pleasure of Afternoon Tea was an indulgent and cherished moment. The image captures the essence of the golden age of ocean travel, a time when the journey was just as important as the destination.
