EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1897, capturing a moment in time at the dock of the S. S. "Umbria". The imposing steamship stands tall against the backdrop of bustling activity, with its elegant structure exuding an air of grandeur and adventure. The S. S. "Umbria" was part of the prestigious Cunard Line, known for their luxurious ocean liners that transported passengers across vast distances. This particular vessel served as a symbol of British engineering prowess and Victorian opulence. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported to an era when travel by sea held great allure and excitement. The bunting adorning the ship's exterior adds a touch of festivity, hinting at departures filled with anticipation and arrivals greeted by loved ones. The photograph itself is a testament to early American photography, taken by Byron Company during their active years from 1890 to 1942. Preserved in the Museum of the City of New York's collection, it offers us a glimpse into both American history and transatlantic travel during this transformative period. With its intricate details captured through expert lensmanship, this print serves as a window into another time - one where majestic ships like the S. S. "Umbria" ruled over vast oceans while carrying dreams and aspirations on board.
