Lot description

GEORGE HORACE DAVIS (1881-1963) HOLLAND AMERICA LINE / SOUTHAMPTON TO NEW YORK / [STATENDAM.] Circa 1930. 39 1/2x25 inches, 100 1/4x63 1/2 cm. Eyre & Spottiswoode, Ltd., London. Condition A: minor abrasions in image. The Statendam, whose maiden voyage was scheduled for 1924, was delayed by construction problems until April 11, 1929. Known as "the Queen of the Spotless Fleet," she served the Holland America Line until 1940, when she was destroyed during World War II. Davis specialized in technical drawings, often illustrating cutaways for the London Illustrated News for whom he started working in 1923. In addition to his "diagrammatic illustrations," he also painted scenes of air combat and worked for different shipping lines including Cunard White Star and Holland America.
