Description
English: Mr W. H. Allison, Chief Steward of the 'Aquitania' (1914)

Portrait of a crew member on the passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) showing a full-length portrait of Mr William Henry Allison (1863-1939), the Chief Steward. The subject is in uniform and standing in the sheltered part of the First Class Promenade, on the starboard side of the Bridge Deck (B Deck).

Mr Allison was Chief Steward of the 'Aquitania' on the voyages prior to the First World War. He was born in Liverpool and had a home address in the Wavertree Park area of the city when this photograph was taken. He remained a member of the crew when the ship was requisitioned by the Admiralty as an armed merchant cruiser, being rated as a Chief Mess Man. At the end of his career with the Cunard Line he worked as a catering superintendent with the shore staff in New York.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
