A view "from upstream of Blackfriar's Bridge, looking east, so the towers of St. Paul's West Front and the magnificent dome are emphasized . . . the elegance of the columns and symmetry between the west towers and the dome rising above, create the majesty of this wonderful structure. Wilkinson's choice of a cool palette is broken by the afternoon sun highlighting part of the bridge, the central buildings, some of the tops and reflections in the Thames. It is a beautifully composed poster, one in a series of London subjects produced by [Wilkinson] a time when the LMS was going head-to-head with the LNER to promote London" (Furness vol. 5, p. 67).

NORMAN WILKINSON (1882-1971). MAURETANIA. 1908. 7x13 inches, 19x35 cm. Alf Cooke, Leeds.
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
NORMAN WILKINSON (1882-1971) MAURETANIA. 1908. 7 1/2x13 3/4 inches, 19x35 cm. Alf Cooke, Leeds. Condition A. Matted and framed. Wilkinson was a painter and illustrator, whose great historical claim is that he was one of the creators of a camouflage system for ships used by the British Navy during the First World War. Although he designed over 100 posters for British railway companies during the 1920s and 30s, his real passion was maritime painting. In addition to his work for the railway companies, he also designed posters for shipping companies including White Star Line, Cunard Line, the Allan Line, the Blue Star Line, Canadian Pacific and others. Amongst his earliest maritime commercial lithographs was an image for the White Star Line, of one of their Big Four (either the Adriatic, Baltic, Cedric or Celtic) in 1904. He also designed a poster for the Cunard Line's Caronia in 1905, and a lithographic portrait of the Mauretania for the Cunard Line in 1907. This charming image shows a young woman on the deck of the Mauretania (the name is on the life boat) observing a passing four-stacker, clearly the Lusitania. While there are photographs of the two ships passing (mostly in the Mersey River), this scene is likely a joyful fabrication of an encounter on the high seas. rare./span We could find no other copies at auction, nor any previous record of this lithograph.
