Ocean liners conjure up an instant image of luxury. The great
salons and smoking room, the suites, the staterooms and even the
indoor swimming pools. This book will look at a century or so of
the decor of ocean liners. It begins with the likes of the
'Mauretania', commissioned in 1907, and shows the Edwardian
flourish and finery-the palm court days. We move into the 1920s
& '30s, to Art Nouveau, German Bauhaus and of course the high
glamour of Art Deco. Ships include the 'Paris', the innovative 'Ile
de France', the 'Bremen' and the stunning 'Normandie' and 'Queen
Mary'. Then there is post-war moderne, 'mid century' as it is
dubbed today, and finally the contemporary of the current cruise
generation-the floating resorts.
