EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of luxury and elegance aboard the iconic QE2. The menu cover, a vibrant colour lithograph, showcases the artistic prowess of the American School in the 20th century. Adorned with flags and symbols representing various nations, this piece exudes a sense of global unity and maritime adventure. The focal point of this artwork lies in its clever use of semaphores to spell out the word "menu". Semaphore, a system of visual signaling using flags or lights, was historically employed by sailors to communicate important messages at sea. Here, it serves as both an aesthetic element and a nod to nautical traditions. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where opulence meets exploration. The Queen Elizabeth II flag proudly flutters atop the ship's mast, symbolizing regality and grandeur. A sailor stands nearby, his presence reminding us of the skilled crew members who ensure smooth sailing for passengers on their unforgettable cruise vacations. This photograph invites us to imagine ourselves as guests aboard this magnificent vessel – savoring delectable cuisine while surrounded by breathtaking ocean views. It encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also our collective yearning for escape and leisurely adventures on open waters. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images continues to evoke feelings of wanderlust and nostalgia for an era defined by luxurious travel experiences aboard one of history's most renowned ships – the QE2.
