EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink sketch by Harry Furniss, titled "P & O Sketches in Pen and Ink," showcases the humorous and lively scenes of passengers aboard P&O liners returning from India during the late Victorian era. Published by The Studio of Design and Illustration Supply Agency in London, this rare hardbound volume boasts an elegant green cover with gilt and gold accents, adding to its antique charm. Measuring 12 x 8 inches, this 204-page book contains 100 sketches, each accompanied by text on the facing page that provides insight into the lives and amusements of the passengers. Furniss, a renowned artist and cartoonist of the time, masterfully captures the spirit of travel and transportation during this period with his witty and comic illustrations. The P&O Sketches in Pen and Ink offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when ocean liners were the primary mode of transport between England and India. These sketches are not only a testament to Furniss's artistic talent but also serve as a valuable historical record of late Victorian society and its fascination with travel. This stunning print is an excellent addition to any collection of rare books, art, or history. Its intricate pen and ink detail and the humorous commentary make it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of travel, transportation, or the Victorian era.
