EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of White Star Line ephemera from the early 1900s, featuring an unused RMS Olympic news bulletin dated September 19, 1914, and pristine on-board stationery. The RMS Olympic, a sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic, was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, renowned for her elegance and opulence. The news bulletin, with its bold red headline "White Star Line," sits atop a stack of papers, its edges slightly worn from handling but its contents untouched. The date, September 19, 1914, is significant as it marks the beginning of World War I, a time when the world was on the brink of change. The bulletin would have provided passengers with the latest news and updates, offering a glimpse into the events unfolding beyond the ship's grand decks. The unused on-board stationery, featuring the iconic White Star Line logo of a white star on a red background, is a testament to the luxury and elegance of ocean travel during this era. The pristine envelopes and letterheads, with their crisp lines and immaculate typography, would have been used to pen letters and correspondence to loved ones back home, allowing passengers to share their experiences of life aboard the magnificent RMS Olympic. This collection of ephemera offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grand voyages, luxury travel, and the dawn of a new era. The RMS Olympic, with its impeccable design and rich history, remains an enduring symbol of the golden age of ocean travel.
