EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite on board silk postcard captures the elegance and grandeur of the RMS Mauretania, a legendary ocean liner of the Edwardian era. Dated 1908, the postcard was sent from Queenstown, Ireland, and features a stunning image of the vessel in full sail. The intricate design of the silk material adds an extra layer of luxury to the already opulent setting of the ship. The RMS Mauretania, launched in 1907, was one of the first modern ocean liners and set new standards for transatlantic travel. Known for its sleek and streamlined design, the ship was the fastest of its time, capable of reaching speeds of up to 22 knots. The postcard's handwritten message, penned in elegant script, adds a personal touch to the historical artifact. The sender expresses their excitement about the upcoming voyage and the anticipation of reaching New York. The postmark from Queenstown, a popular departure point for transatlantic voyages, further emphasizes the significance of this journey. The Edwardian era, characterized by its grandeur and elegance, is beautifully represented in this unique silk postcard. The intricate design, historical significance, and personal message make it a valuable collectible for maritime history enthusiasts and philatelists alike.
