RMS OLYMPIC, White Star Line. First class companion, A deck. Interior view of the stairway to first class entrance on boat deck. The Olympic was the first of a class of luxurious express transatlantic ocean liners, and entered service with the White Star Line in 1911 as the largest cruise liner in the world. Sister ship of the RMS Titanic, she was the only one of the class to prove a success, serving until 1935. The clock from Olympics grand staircase, probably made most famous through the RMS Titanic, is now on display at the Southampton Maritime Museum. Photographed by Bedford Lemere at Southampton, October 1921

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in October 1921 at Southampton, captures an interior view of the grand stairway leading to the first-class entrance on the Boat Deck of the RMS Olympic. The RMS Olympic, a White Star Line vessel and the first of her class of luxurious express transatlantic ocean liners, graced the seas with her majestic presence starting in 1911. With a size and opulence unmatched at the time, she held the title of the largest cruise liner in the world. The Olympic was the proud sister ship of the ill-fated RMS Titanic, and while the latter's tragic sinking in 1912 cast a long shadow over the White Star Line, the Olympic proved to be the only successful ship of the class, serving until 1935. The clock featured in this image, which once adorned the grand staircase of the RMS Olympic, is now a cherished exhibit at the Southampton Maritime Museum. Its intricate design and elegant craftsmanship are a testament to the unparalleled level of luxury and sophistication that defined ocean travel during this era. As you gaze upon this photograph, imagine the grandeur and opulence of a bygone era, when travel across the Atlantic was an experience reserved for the privileged few. The RMS Olympic, with her stunning stairways, elegant interiors, and unrivaled size, represented the pinnacle of maritime innovation and luxury.
