WALTER THOMAS CUNARD / BOSTON TO EUROPE.
391/2x251/4 inches. James Haworth, London.
Condition A-: discoloration at edges; repaired tears through right margin.
Thomas has pictured here one of three ships that were part of the Cunard Lines Liverpool-Queenstown-New York and Boston services, either the Laconia, Samaria or the Scythia. Pictured in massive half-profile as she is either being brought into port or out of the harbor, the ship appears to bridge the distance between sea and sky.
