Long Live RMS Queen Mary

Get this if you love RMS Queen Mary as much as I. According to the publisher's page, there are only 1500 copies. It isn't much of a volume, 11"x 8.5," but is great to have if you are building a collection of ocean liner books. There is a bibliography in the back as well as a list of the artists' births and deaths, with a brief description of the pieces. It is sad to know in fact which art is lost. It would be interesting to know how and when they were lost. Who was in charge? It is nice to see the "Unicorns in Battle" panel without the obnoxious red stain found on it now. No wonder there is missing art. At least there is documentation of this special ship, which was a part of the time when things were made to be authentically beautiful.

Photo book for die-hard Q.M. fans

Book is primarly about the art/decor created for the ship, including rare images of now lost art no longer on board as well as the more permanent decor. A real art glimpse into the mid to late 30's.
