England without India was unthinkable, and the essential connection was an uninterrupted procession of steamships passing through the Suez Canal. The people, the ships, and the places which comprised this lifeline have been made the subject of 52 paintings by artist Ian Marshall. These are supported by period photos, sketches, and maps, and by best selling author John Maxtone-Graham's evocative text. Together, they celebrate the experience and the images of the Passage East during the period of steam propulsion.
