White Star Line, Olympic and Titanic brochure

White Star Line, Olympic and Titanic, brochure cover, Accommodations and Arrangements. Printed over 72 pages with a striking red cover in bold block white, and black lettering and an image of the vessel at sea, printed by Liverpool Printing and Stationery Co Ltd. Published May 1911, likely to coincide with Titanic's launch. The brochure begins with the achievements the two sister ships represent and how they were built side by side at Harland & Wolff. The vessels are then described, beginning with the hull, then the decorations and, finally the machinery. The brochure includes technical data on the watertight doors and the mechanics of the engines. Accommodations for each class are described in detail. Descriptions of various amenities of the ship are also included. For example, on p39 a portion of the Grand Staircase is described: Above all a great dome of iron and glass throws a flood of light down the stairway, and on the landing beneath a great carved panel gives its note of richness to the otherwise plain and massive construction of the wall. The symbolism of the staircase's renowned clock is also discussed. There are 49 illustrations and photographs. The Grand staircase (referred to as the Main Staircase), dining areas, Turkish Bath, Smoking Room, Pool (referred to as the Swimming Bath), each class of cabin, stages of building and machinery are all depicted. Date: 1911
