Promotional booklet for the AQUITANIA

booklet

A 1928 promotional booklet for the AQUITANIA. The cover has an eye-catching and colorful design by artist Louis Fancher, with the four-funneled ship on a bubbly ocean. Inside are black and white photographs, with yellow and orange line accents. The text describes the shipboard experience, and the photographs are mostly of the ship's staterooms, dining rooms and decks. The center page, however, is titled "The Cunard Liner Aquitania has the Privilege of Entertaining Who's Who at Sea" and has photographs of celebrities who had traveled on the ship. These include American stage actress Ina Claire, American opera singer Mary Garden, golf champion Bobby Jones, Charles M. Schwab who was chairman of the board of the Bethlehem Steel Company, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon and others.
