Edwards]Earthenware with black and white transfer printPlatter with a scene from the "Boston Mails" Series, with a black and white view of a gentlemen's cabin on a pre-titanic ocean liner. Scene reflects the transatlantic mail service between England and North America. Boston Mails Series The Boston Mails series depicts views of steamships from the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company. In 1840 Canadian Samuel Cunard (1787-1865) of Halifax, Nova Scotia was the first to cross the Atlantic with a fleet of wooden paddle-wheelers – steam replaced sails – carrying the royal mails, and following regular schedules. Sir William Edward Parry awarded Cunard the £60 contract in 1830 because he promised to deliver the mail with a schedule and punctuality similar to the railway trains. Three different potters celebrated Cunard's achievements who formed a partnership with a Scotsman and built four ships: Britannia, Acadia, Caledonia and Columbia. Though reflecting contact with Boston, this pattern was popular in Canada, appearing in Toronto in the 1840s.
