np (32pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. This is a luxe April 1937 brochure designed for the American market to promote travel by sea between New York, Cherbourg and Southampton on the Cunard White Star Line's newly commissioned "Queen Mary." With an embossed gilded foil front cover trimmed with faux wood paneling, this highly visual piece is filled with color photography emphasizing the superliner's unparalleled modern conveniences, and the splendor of her Art Deco interiors and detailing by the likes of A.R. Thompson, George Ramon, Anna Zinkeisen, H. Davis Richter, and Dame Laura Knight. A presentable example of this uncommon item whose exterior shows creasing and some loss to the front cover's foil overlay, fabric tape repair along the length of the spine, and the gold adhesive label of "Howard H. Adams - The Film Industry's Travel Agent" affixed to the lower foredge corner The interior shows some light wear, rubbing, and soiling. All in all, this is a solid, internally handsome copy of an engaging souvenir of the dawn of the golden age of Transatlantic luxury liners.
