Description
Board 37? x 27?, frame 45 1/2? x 35 1/2?. These two diesel-propelled beauties were the foundations of NHK’s passenger fleet in the decade before the Second World War, a conflict they did not survive. The Harry Hudson Rodmell poster is a gem in every way. Probably in its original frame: the whole ensemble was conceived as a travel agency display piece. Rare. Harry Hudson Rodmell (28 May 1896 – 3 March 1984) was an English painter and Commercial artist, specialising in marine art. He studied at Hull School of Art before enlisting in the Royal Engineers during World War I. After demobilisation, he was recruited by Ronald Massey, a London agent seeking nautical illustrations for publicity material. Subsequently he produced work for many of the major shipping lines including P & O, Canadian Pacific and the British India Line. His longest running commission was a series of calendars for the tugboat company William Watkins Ltd. The Asama Maru (??? Asama maru?) was a Japanese ocean liner owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The ship was built in 1927-1929 by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. at Nagasaki, Japan. The Asama Maru was built for the trans-Pacific Orient-California fortnightly service; and she was characterized as “The Queen of the Sea.” Principal ports-of-call included Hong Kong, Shanghai, Kobe, Yokohama, Honolulu, Los Angeles & San Francisco. On her fourth voyage from Yokohama to SanFrancisco, the speed of the ship’s crossing surpassed the previous record. All items are authentic and original as described.
