Summary

Description
English: Bronzework for the SS Queen Mary. Pier E, Long Beach, California, U.S.A. 1934. Door to the private dining-room. Two hinged doors from the First Class Restaurant (each with the decorated handles on the Restaurant side), and a set of two sliding doors, with four depictions of "The Elements" in a series. The two single doors come on either side of the double doors which on the Restaurant side are enriched with the stories of the Ocean from classical mythology. These single doors symbolise the flower-strewn lands on either side of the Atlantic. Each door on the dining-room side has for its central feature one of the beneficent elements. The one illustrated shows Summer with the gentle zephyr whispering in her ear. A decorative feature in each grille is a stream running through the centre of the gardens with the kingfishers darting at the fish jumping to the surface of the water. https://www.scribd.com/doc/17256374/Walter-Gilbert-Main-Inventory https://archive.org/details/WalterGilbert
