The SS Normandie, an iconic transatlantic superliner, stands as a true archetype of ocean liner design. Crafted by renowned naval architect Vladimir Yourkevitch, her radical streamlined hull defied all conventions of the era. Her interiors, adorned in stunning Art Deco style, embodied the cutting-edge trends of the time. On her maiden voyage, the SS Normandie broke speed records, earning the Blue Riband as the fastest transatlantic liner. Her exceptional performance and innovative design solidified her legendary status. Tragically, her career ended abruptly in 1942 when she caught fire during conversion into a troop transport ship and was declared a total loss. This dramatic end may have further elevated the Normandie to her enduring legendary status.

The art itself is beautiful! I received my first one and there was a crease in the paper. The packaging was fine but sometimes the postal system isn't friendly. I contacted the seller and he made it right for me. So happy, thank you!
