What is Cunard Portraits: 144 Scale Line Drawings of Ships of the Cunard Fleet about?

At that time the steamship was in its early infancy, but successful voyages from England to New York by the British paddle steamers GREAT WESTERN and SIRIUS during 1838 had decided the British Admiralty to invite tenders during November that year for the carriage by steamship of the mail between England and North America.
