NOTES: Launched in 1938, the RMS Queen Elizabeth was quickly requisitioned for use in World War II as a troop ship. It was only after the war, in 1946, that it was completely refitted and relaunched as the luxury passenger liner it was originally intended to be. George Grey Wornum designed the decoration of the first-class accommodation.

NOTES: The 'Palladio' wallpaper range was the brainchild of Richard Busby and Guy Busby of the Lightbown Aspinall branch of Wall Paper Manufacturers Limited (WPM). The company commissioned a number of designers to produce both abstract and representational schemes around the central theme of architecture. Part of a larger 'Palladio' range of wallpapers, 'Palladio Magnus' formed a satellite collection of silkscreen printed papers primarily aimed at architects for use in public and commercial buildings.
