Normandie: France's Legendary Art Deco Ocean Liner

A magnificent tribute to the illustrious and ill-fated steamship.
Normandie was unquestionably the most beautiful ocean liner ever built. The worldâ€™s largest at the time, she also became the worldâ€™s fastest. Her art deco interiors were unrivaled: capacious, elegant, and chic, decorated by teams of Franceâ€™s most talented artists. Yet Normandie was plagued with frustrationsâ€•never attracting more passengers than the competition and tragically ending her days in flames at New Yorkâ€™s Pier 88. Celebrated maritime historian John Maxtone-Graham confesses to a hypnotic fascination with Normandie. In this comprehensive volume, enriched by over 200 photographs and illustrations, he documents every aspect of the vesselâ€™s decorative antecedents, design, construction, and service. Always articulate, entertaining, and devastatingly well informed, Maxtone-Graham has created the definitive Normandie panegyric, a comprehensive and, at times, heartbreaking account of this fabled liner. 200+ photographs and illustrations
