Légende

On the Way to the Philadelphia Exhibition, 1876. 'Bringing mails on board; smoking saloon; playing quoits; the Belle of the voyage; New York pilot boat in sight...[View of] the upper deck of the 'Adriatic', with the passengers playing at the amusing game of quoits. The lady who appears just throwing was a splendid shot, and succeeded in beating most of the gentlemen. Flirting and love-making appeared to be the orthodox diversions in crossing the Atlantic. Medical advice also suggests flirting; but in reality the doctor is consoling a lady who has been suffering the horrors of sea-sickness pretty severely. By the lighting-up of the face we should imagine that she quite approves of the remedy: champagne was evidently recommended. There is always, we are told, a "Belle of the Voyage", and this trip was most fortunate in its "belle," as proved by the amount of attention showered upon her'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
