The MAY COLLECTION: Rare HMS Olympic Silk Postcard - A Glimpse into Maritime History This exquisite silk postcard, part of the esteemed MAY COLLECTION at Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd., presents a captivating image of the iconic HMS Olympic, a British ocean liner that once ruled the waves as the largest and most luxurious steamship in the world. The HMS Olympic, launched in 1911, was the sister ship to the ill-fated RMS Titanic and the first of the three Olympic-class ocean liners. Measuring an impressive 882 feet 9 inches in length and capable of carrying over 2,300 passengers, the HMS Olympic was a marvel of engineering and design. This rare silk postcard, adorned with intricate floral patterns, showcases the HMS Olympic in all its grandeur as it gracefully cuts through the tranquil waters. The ship's elegant lines and imposing presence are accentuated by the serene sea and the vast expanse of the sky, creating a breathtaking scene that transports us back in time. The use of silk for this postcard adds an extra layer of sophistication and rarity, making it a highly prized collectible for maritime enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The MAY COLLECTION at Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. is renowned for its exceptional selection of rare and unique postcards, and this HMS Olympic silk postcard is a testament to their commitment to preserving and sharing the rich history of postcard collecting. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded of a bygone era when travel by sea was an indulgent and luxurious experience, and the HMS Olympic was the epitome of elegance and sophistication on the high seas.
