The Great age of ocean travel has long since passed, but ocean
liners remain one of the most powerful and admired symbols of
modernity. No form of transport was as romantic, remarkable, or
contested, and ocean liner design became a matter of national
prestige as well as an arena in which the larger dynamics of global
competition were played out. This beautifully illustrated book
considers over a century of liner design: from the striking
graphics created to promote liners to the triumphs of engineering,
and from luxurious interiors to on board fashion and activities.
Ocean Liners explores the design of Victorian and Art Deco
'floating palaces', sleek post-war liners as well as these ships'
impact on avant-garde artists and architects such as Le Corbusier.
