EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the opulence and grandeur of the writing room aboard the German steamship "Amerika" of the Hamburg-America Line, as it was originally decorated in the Empire style by Waring and Gillow Limited in 1905. The room, filled with richly upholstered chairs, ornate woodwork, and intricate detailing, exudes an air of luxury and refinement. The Empire style, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterized by its grandiosity and grandeur, with influences from ancient Rome and Greece. The "Amerika," launched in 1905, was one of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners of its time. It was renowned for its elegant interiors, which were designed to cater to the first-class passengers who could afford the high fares. The writing room, with its large windows offering views of the ocean, was a popular retreat for passengers seeking quiet reflection or to pen letters home. However, history would take a different turn for the "Amerika." In 1917, following Germany's entry into World War One, the ship was commandeered by the Americans and renamed USS America. It was then used as a transport ship, carrying troops and supplies across the Atlantic. The writing room, once a symbol of luxury and comfort, was transformed into a makeshift office or living space for the military personnel aboard. This photograph, taken in 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when ocean travel was a symbol of wealth and status. The intricate decoration and luxurious furnishings of the writing room on the "Amerika" serve as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence of a bygone era.
