An 1893 illustrated ocean travel souvenir titled “Over the Ocean: A Souvenir of the Voyage on the American Line S.S. ‘New York’” by JOHN H. GOULD, complete at 104 pages and measuring approx. 6.75 x 5.5 inches. This is a classic example of late 19th-century steamship ephemera, produced for passengers crossing the Atlantic during the height of luxury liner travel.
The book is richly illustrated throughout with a mix of black-and-white halftone images and attractive color plates. Notable content includes: detailed charts of transatlantic routes, signal flags and smokestack identifiers for major steamship lines (Cunard, White Star, Hamburg-American, etc.), maritime diagrams, and scenic views. There are also lively genre illustrations of shipboard life such as deck games (“Quoits on Board”), boarding scenes, and travel moments, along with maps of New York Harbor and Europe.
In addition to imagery, the booklet contains practical travel information of the era: signaling systems at sea, distances and speed records of steamships, passenger tips, telegraph code phrases, and diary pages for travelers. Period advertising is abundant, featuring hotels, railroads, insurance, and American Express travelers cheques—strong added appeal for collectors of advertising ephemera.
