I have the print you did of the Rotterdam V hanging in my den and just love it. Wish HAL would sell more of your prints on their ships.

Welcome to cruisetalk. I hope you share your great insights here as you do on liner's list. We are a fun group here.

Check out the photo albums. Onno has quite a few interesting ones as does SSLewis, and PamM, sorry if I forgot anyone.

Best wishes for a new year

Best wishes to everyone for a Happy New Year!

Can I make a small bit of advertising here? :-)

Carmania Press (London) have just published a book of my paintings. It was 'launched' on board QE2 during her pre Christmas transatlantic crossing.
It is available through Mainmast Books in the UK.

The title is "CUNARDER' Maritime Paintings by Stephen Card MNI.
Hardback 176 pages. Landscape format: 12" x 10"
It contains the 30 paintings especilly painted for the Queen Mary2 , plus 12 images which they 'borrowed' from the QE2. Each painting is accompanied by a text outlining the history of the ship illustrated. Foreword by Stephen Payne OBE and Introduction by Commodore Warwick.
All paintings in full colour. Printed on heavy archival paper with anti-tear dustjacket showing the Mauretania and Laurentic cruising in the Med c. 1934.
In addition to the paintings Maurizio Eliseo has written a splendid 12 page section on building the Queen Mary 2, illustrated with several of his own photographs. Maurizio also contributed a superb two page width coloured elevation of the QM2. One chapter, Milestones & Statistics contains all the important dates in her 'history' and her official 'statistics'.

For the future.... hopefully by the end of this year, I will have another book ready for the press. This one will be titled HOLLAND AMERICA LINE - "The Spotless Fleet' and will feature roughly 80 of my HAL paintings.... the entire collection painted for HAL over the past 14 years plus a few extras from private collections. It will also include the work currently on the easel for the new NOORDAM.

It is almost impossible to have large prints made of so many paintings. Hopefully this new book will satisfy those of you who love the HAL ships.

2005 is going to be a busy year!

Incidentally, Carmania has also just released a book by Bill Miller and Maurizio on the Golden Age of Passenger Ships. Hardback, large format. First printing, in Italian, is available. English text version due out soo. The quality of this book is outstanding!
Don't miss it!

Best regards to you and Ank.

Thanks Stephen,

I will inquire with Tony.

I would like to tell you, as a ship enthusiast I am, that your work is simply a dream and a tribute to all ships of the world.

Recently I acquired the postcards collection that you made for Saga Shipping, and I can only say that it is divine.

I wish and I hope you could do for the future paintings from memorable ships like Greek Line LAKONIA, Ivan Franko class, Bianca C, Empress of Canada (green CP livery)etc...the real liners as you certainly know...

I wish you a Happy 2005, and please continue with your magnificent work.

Thank you,

Dimas Almada
