EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by H. M. Bateman captures a humorous moment at the docks in 1936, as a man is seen asking for directions to the newly built cruise ship, the Queen Mary. The sheer size of the liner is emphasized by the fact that he is standing right next to it, looking up in surprise at its immense scale.
H. M. Bateman was known for his efficient and bold style depicting social faux-pas, making this piece a perfect example of his work. His illustrations were regularly featured in popular publications such as the Sketch, Tatler, and Bystander, reflecting the humor and history of the time period.
The man's expression of confusion and awe adds an element of light-heartedness to this historical scene at the docks. It serves as a reminder of how impressive and grand these passenger ships were during that era.
Overall, this print not only showcases Bateman's talent for capturing moments of humor but also provides a glimpse into a bygone era where cruise liners like the Queen Mary reigned supreme on the quay.
