CUNARD MEMORABILIA: AN OLD DAILY BULLETIN






















Look at this cool Cunard Daily Bulletin of 1905, printed daily on board the R.M.S. Ivernia

The was a daily publication for the westbound voyage that departed from Liverpool on 20 June 1905 with 998 Passengers and 255 Crew Members.

24 Pages Total.

The Cunard Daily Bulletin was printed on heavy calendered paper, and typographically compared favorably with many of the magazines printed here and abroad.

The daily journal was generally prepared by the Purser and his two printers (assistants) and a flat-bed press.

The paper went to press in the early morning hours, and the novelty of reading a newspaper at their breakfast tables was much enjoyed by the passengers.

Sorry, but oday's bulletins don't have this elegant design.
