Welcome, Princess Dala!

I want that QM color interior-photo book! That and the gold-cover interior paintings book, too, which is always too expensive for me to buy when I find it.

I love that cabin class foyer picture for Elizabeth; I just found a similar shot in my Dover interiors book. The height is amazing, which makes the sconce lighting very dramatic, like in a big soundstage set - Mary's foyer (and the Prom deck shops in the picture you included for comparison to Elizabeth's) can't match that, nor the sheer breadth of the floorspace. It's amazing to see how similar many of the other analogous spaces really are, though, size aside.

I can't find any photos of the Queen Elizabeth's pool, either; ton of both Mary pools, though. I thought the James Steele book might have comparison photos, but no; it was another book. It does have photos documenting a flambe-in-progress in the QM cabin class dining salon, though. Sunday brunch needs schtick like that. xD

PS - The Observation Bar looks hella tighter in the postwar reds.
