EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking sepia print captures the White Star Line's RMS Olympic in wartime service, transporting troops to the European front during World War I. The Olympic, a triple-screw steamer and sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic, is depicted here carrying soldiers on her deck in an unusual and poignant scene. Dated between 1914 and 1918, this period print showcases the White Star Line's famous dazzle paint camouflage, a unique and effective method used to confuse enemy submarines and protect the ships from torpedoes. The ship's powerful presence is further accentuated by the use of an aerial view, providing a unique perspective of the Olympic's impressive size and stature. Housed in a handsome oak frame, this 23 x 30 inches print is a testament to the crucial role that maritime transportation played during the Great War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers who sailed across the Atlantic to fight for their countries. This print is not to be confused with a commercial advertisement, but rather a historical document of an important chapter in maritime and military history.
