EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning view of the starboard side of the S. S. Empress of Britain, taken in 1931 by Studio Films. The grandeur and elegance of this ocean liner are evident as it stands proudly at Clydebank, Scotland, where it was constructed by John Brown & Co. Launched on June 11th, 1930, with the esteemed presence of HRH Prince of Wales, the Empress of Britain symbolized an era defined by luxury travel and global exploration. Its magnificent profile against the backdrop of the harbor evokes a sense of adventure and maritime history. However, this majestic vessel's fate took a tragic turn during World War II when it was sunk on October 28th, 1940 while serving its country. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of its beauty but also its role in wartime efforts. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historical image while highlighting intricate details such as ropes and portholes that were essential components for safe navigation across vast oceans. Published in The Studio Volume 102 in London back in 1931, this print captures a moment frozen in time – an emblematic representation of transportation during the early twentieth century. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector, we are transported back to an era when ships like the S. S. Empress of Britain ruled the seas with grace and splendor.
