Item Description
"Cunarder: Maritime Paintings" by Stephen J. Card, M.N.I.
176 pages
Carmania Press, London
This is a sumptuous book. Stephen Card, whose paintings of liners and other vessels are so well known to shiplovers, was commissioned to produce a collection of pictures to be hung on board the new Queen Mary 2. These are now reproduced on heavy matte archival paper and printed in five colors for superb results in this beautiful book. They present a splendid pictorial history of the most famous ships of the Cunard fleet, including the Britannia of 1840, Mauretania, Lusitania, Aquitania, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, QE2, QM2 among many. Each painting is accompanied by an informative text outlining the history of the ship portrayed. To make the book even more valuable, it includes a chapter by Stephen Card in which he writes about his work, his tools, and the techniques he uses; an introduction by Commodore Ron Warwick, the QM2's master; a foreword by Stephen M. Payne, the new liner's designer; and a chapter by Maurizio Eliseo about the building and testing of the ship, in which he was involved.
