The Cunard Quadruple-Screw Atlantic Liner Aquitania (Ocean Liners of the Past, No. 3) Reviews
-
Facsimile of the souvenir number published in 1914 on the occasion of the maiden voyage of the Aquitania, it contains all the pages of the original number with the addition of pages detailing the life of this famous ocean liner and a careful selection of vintage advertisements. A good copy for the libraries of old ocean liner buffs, although the quality of this reprint could be greatly improved, especially the type of paper chosen and the reproduction of the images, the beautiful original color plates have been reproduced in black and white in this edition. You also have to be careful with the prices, I have seen copies for sale whose highly abusive prices were similar and even higher than some of the cheapest copies of the covetest original 1914 number for sale.
