Description: | Interior of the passenger liner 'Empress of Asia' (1913) showing the First Class Smoking Room, on the Promenade Deck (a view from the port side, showing the forward end in detail).
The main public rooms on the 'Empress of Asia' were designed by the architect George Abraham Crawley (1864-1926). The First Class Smoking Room was decorated in the Jacobean style. The carving work was carried out by H. H. Martyn & Co Ltd, Cheltenham. The half-timbered ceiling was punctuated by naked light bulbs, demonstrating they were still a novelty in 1912.
