EDITORS COMMENTS
The steamship 'Persia' glides gracefully through the water, captured in all its majestic glory in this stunning oil on canvas painting by D. Lyle. The ship is depicted in a gentle breeze, with its large paddle and funnels prominently displayed, showcasing the power and elegance of this Cunard Royal Mail Ship.
The name 'Persia' is proudly emblazoned on the port bow, as the ship flies the flag of the United States. A bustling scene unfolds on deck, with figures going about their business against a backdrop of blue skies and calm waters.
Built of iron and capable of carrying 250 cabin class passengers, the 'Persia' was a popular choice for transatlantic voyages between Liverpool and New York. With an average crossing time of nine and a half days, she was known for her reliability and comfort.
This painting captures not just a vessel at sea, but also a moment in maritime history when steamships were revolutionizing passenger transportation across oceans. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring to life an era when travel by sea was both adventurous and luxurious.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this artwork serves as a reminder of the beauty and innovation that defined 19th-century seafaring.
