ORSOVA: 1954 - Interior description booklet, maiden voyage era

Product Description

Orient Line: A small-format twenty-eight page brochure published around the time of the ORSOVA's 1954 maiden voyage which describes the ship and her interiors.

The ORSOVA was a slightly larger version of Orient Line's earlier post-war fleet, ORCADES and ORONSAY. This brochure has a two page artist's view of the ship in the center, while the rest of the brochure is filled with descriptive text.

"The keynote of ORSOVA is the luxury of unfussiness, of clean lines, and suitable materials," sniffs the introduction. But the brochure is fun to read. The First Class Restaurant: "The patterned carpet is in dusky pink, the walls in lime with scrapbook decorations arranged by Miss Barbara Jones ... gilt 'trimmings' and looped-curtains pelmets give a hint when times were more leisurely."

The First Class Lounge: "The main decoration is a whole wall, more than 20 feet long, painted as a gay 'eye-deceiver' - appearing to be rough boards, perhaps the side of a boathouse or fisherman's shed, hung with the sort of intriguing objects one finds in such places, an old lamp, ropes and nets, a boathook and flags, and even a bunch of onions."

The Tourist Class Dining Room: "Almost the whole of the Dining Room is finished in plastic, the ceiling mainly of special sound-absorbing panels (which will produce a restful atmosphere free from excessive noise) and the walls in 'hemp beige' and 'white gold' with small areas in 'steel blue'."

The brochure goes on to describe all the publics rooms, suites, cabins, even the crew areas. Inside the front cover is an explanation of her "iron gate" badge.

Good condition with cover soiling.
