EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are presented with Mr Johns' extraordinary creation - a meticulously crafted model of a liner made entirely out of matches. The level of detail is truly remarkable, showcasing Mr Johns' exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to his art. Measuring 30 inches in length and 5 inches in beam, this miniature marvel boasts three decks, twelve lifeboats, twelve rafts, swing doors, and promenade seats. Every aspect has been carefully constructed to replicate the grandeur and functionality of a real ocean liner. It is awe-inspiring to learn that it took an astonishing 15,310 matches and an entire month for Mr Johns to bring this masterpiece to life. His patience and precision shine through in every tiny matchstick that forms the intricate structure. This photograph was sent by Alfieri to Messrs S. J. Michland & Sons Ltd in Gloucester on February 1st, 1928. It captures not only the ingenuity of Mr Johns but also represents the artistic spirit prevalent during the early twentieth century between the wars. Alfieri's monochrome portrayal adds a timeless quality to this image from the roaring twenties or "the Jazz Age". This unique piece showcases both innovation and creativity while paying homage to an era defined by its elegance and sophistication
