EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, taken on the 31st of October in 1928, we witness a significant moment in maritime history. The Canadian Pacific Atlantic liner, Empress of France, elegantly departs from Southampton en route to Hong Kong. This departure marks the replacement of her sister ship, the Empress of Canada, which is heading back to Clydeside for refitting. The image beautifully captures the grandeur and power of this majestic vessel as it glides through the calm waters. With its sleek design and billowing smokestacks, the steamship exudes an air of sophistication and adventure. Its impressive size - measuring at an astonishing 10,272 meters - commands attention against the backdrop of Southampton's harbor. Photographer Edward G. Malindine skillfully employs black and white tones to emphasize both the historical significance and timeless beauty captured within this frame. The monochromatic palette adds a sense of nostalgia that transports viewers back to a bygone era. This photograph not only showcases remarkable craftsmanship but also highlights how transportation played a vital role in connecting continents during this period. As one can imagine, witnessing such a sight would have stirred feelings of excitement among those present on that autumn day. Edward G. Malindine's archival masterpiece serves as a testament to human ingenuity while offering us a glimpse into our collective past – reminding us that even amidst technological advancements today; there is still something awe-inspiring about these magnificent vessels sailing across vast oceans towards new horizons
