Title: A Voyage of Elegance and Entertainment: RMS Olympic's First Class Luncheon Menu and Concert Programme, Early 20th Century This collection of ephemera offers a glimpse into the luxurious world of travel aboard the iconic RMS Olympic, a flagship of the White Star Line. The first item, a cross-sectional promotional brochure, showcases the grandeur of the Olympic's First Class accommodations, including elegant staterooms, spacious lounges, and exquisite dining rooms. The Second item, a First Class luncheon menu from September 30, 1920, invites us to indulge in a sumptuous meal fit for royalty. Appetizers such as Consommé Olga and Oysters on the Half Shell were followed by entrées like Roast Squab and Filet Mignon, and concluded with delectable desserts like Peaches in Chartreuse Jelly and Strawberries Romanoff. The menu also highlights the impeccable catering services provided by the White Star Line. The final item, a concert programme dated October 9, 1922, adds an extra layer of entertainment to the voyage. This programme features a diverse lineup of performers, including the renowned violinist Maud Powell, the acclaimed tenor Enrico Caruso, and the popular comedian Will Rogers. The event took place in the Prince George Room, further emphasizing the Olympic's commitment to providing its passengers with an unforgettable experience. Together, these items transport us back to a bygone era of luxury travel, where the journey was as much a part of the adventure as the destination. The RMS Olympic, with its red ensign and White Star Line logo, represented the epitome of elegance and sophistication, making every voyage a memorable one.
