EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the golden age of ocean travel with this print depicting pleasure routes across the Atlantic Ocean during the 1930s. This vintage map illustrates the romantic and exotic destinations reached by luxury cruise liners, following in the wake of Christopher Columbus. Sail the crystal-clear waters to the Caribbean and the enchanting West Indies, once the domain of buccaneers and pirates, and a thousand miles north of the Bermudas. The map highlights the routes of several renowned ocean liners, including the Reina del Pacifico, Laconia, Britannic, and Duchess of Richmond. Each ship represents a floating palace, offering passengers the height of luxury and comfort as they traversed the vast expanse of the Atlantic. To the top left of the map, an evocative impression of the booking hall at Thomas Cook travel agency in Berkeley Street, London, transports us back to the era of leisurely travel planning. The Gripsholm, Viceroy of India, Orford, and other liners are also shown, each with their unique routes and stories. This exquisite print, reminiscent of old cartographers' maps, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of ocean travel, where adventure, luxury, and discovery awaited those who dared to set sail on the open sea.
