She ruled the North Atlantic with three red-capped funnels and a black hull stretching over a thousand feet — the RMS Queen Mary at full steam, rendered in vivid linen-process color in this classic maritime souvenir card. Launched in 1936 and immediately breaking speed records, the Queen Mary became a symbol of British engineering triumph during a decade shadowed by economic depression and looming war. The card's reverse, printed for distributor Frank E. Cooper of 288 Broadway, New York, notes her vital statistics with pride: 1,019.5 feet in length, 118 feet in breadth, 30-knot average crossing speed, accommodation for over 2,000 passengers and 1,200 crew, and a gross tonnage of 81,235.18. Published by Curt Teich's "C.T. Art-Colortone" process, this card captures the golden age of transatlantic travel at its most glamorous — before the Queen Mary was repainted grey and pressed into wartime troopship service.
