Designing liners : a history of interior design afloat /Anne Wealleans.

"This book provides the first survey of the transient history of interior design in relation to the development of passenger shipping. The history of these great ship interiors is tracked, from their commissioning by the line owners; the materials, methods and sources for the initial creation; their construction; their use and reception. Drawing on a broad range of original research, Anne Wealleans' approach combines design history, architectural history, and material and visual culture."--DUST JACKET.
