I am decorating a room of my house, and more then anything would love to put up some classic images of Liners.

Specifically I am looking for 3x5 or 4x6 images of some of the greats at full speed crossing the atlantic - REX, Bremen, Normandie, QE, United States, Liberte, etc.

Are there any sites around that sell original or reproduction images. I know I could buy some books and cut into them, but would prefer photos.

Thanks

I did this when we finished our basement a few years back.

I used a combination of scanned slides and photos and then used an Epson photo printer to print them on glossy paper. They came out great and look like actual photo prints in the frames.

You can probably find classic photos of reasonable quality online at maritime museum sites. Check out Martime Museums online for links.
