EDITORS COMMENTS
This set of two vintage silk postcards, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the iconic RMS Olympic in all her glory. The first postcard, titled "RMS Olympic," depicts the magnificent ocean liner as she cuts through the waves, leaving a trail of white foam in her wake. The second postcard, entitled "Hands Across the Sea with Flags," features an image of two passengers, one on either side of the Atlantic, reaching out to touch hands while holding their respective national flags. The RMS Olympic, launched in 1911, was the first of the renowned White Star Line's trio of Olympic-class ocean liners, which also included the Titanic and the Britannic. Known for their size, luxury, and advanced engineering, these ships revolutionized transatlantic travel and set new standards for ocean liner design. The silk postcards, produced by an unknown artist, capture the essence of the early 20th century's fascination with sea travel and transportation. The intricate details of the ship's design, from her elegant curves to the intricate deck arrangements, are beautifully rendered in the silk medium. The vibrant colors and delicate textures of the silk material add an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to these nostalgic keepsakes. These postcards offer a glimpse into a bygone era of luxury and adventure, when crossing the Atlantic by sea was a grand and glamorous experience. They are a must-have for collectors of vintage travel memorabilia, maritime history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the artistry and craftsmanship of the past.
