KENNETH DENTON SHOESMITH (1890-1939) R.M.S.P. TO SOUTH AMERICA. 36x24 inches, 91 1/2x61 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins and image; restored loss in bottom margin; restoration along vertical and horizontal folds. In 1840 Samuel Cunard founded the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which was also known by its founder's name--the Cunard Line. In 1910 the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company bought out the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. This snapshot of life on a boat does well to highlight both the hustle and bustle and the relaxed carefree attitude that exist simultaneously on a liner of such size.
