The Age of Elegance...

...and luxury, for those who could afford it.
White Star Line R.M.S. Adriatic: The New Cabin Lounge
From the back of the postcard: 'Here, also, is the ship's library, containing both standard works and modern novels'.

White Star Line M.V. Britannic: Cabin Smoking Room
From the back of the postcard: '...an attractive reproduction of a room in a Tudor mansion.  The oak panelling, the ceiling beams, adorned with carved shields of arms, and the curtains, hand-worked, in the old style....'

White Star Line R.M.S. Olympic: First Class Tudor Room
From the back of the postcard: 'The Staterooms on the "Olympic," notably pleasing in their variety, cover every famous preiod - Tudor, Louis XVI, Queen Anne and Moderne, to name but a few.'
