Edward Steichen's striking black-and-white scene set on the deck of the luxury ocean liner, S.S. Lurline, in the 1930s shows guests dressed in elegant day wear, seated at a table, enjoying tea, conversation, and the sea breeze. The S.S. Lurline was one of Matson Lines’ flagship vessels, famed not only for its transit between the U.S. mainland and Hawai‘i but also for the onboard experience it offered to first cruise patrons: elegance, comfort, and a cosmopolitan vision of travel. Steichen was known for his artistry in both commercial and fine photography; his eye for light, shadow, and human presence resonates here. The image does more than document, it evokes a sensory experience of travel: the breeze, the light, the genteel leisure that defined transpacific voyages.
