Interior of the passenger liner 'Balmoral Castle' (1910) showing the after end of the Neoclassical style First Class Dining Saloon, on the Upper Deck (a view along the centre line, with the sideboard and double doors out to the serving windows shown in detail). The hands of the clock are blurred, indicating that the photographer used a long exposure. The reflection of the camera in the mirror has been erased from the negative.

The main public rooms on the 'Balmoral Castle' were designed by the architect William Flockhart (1854-1913). Flockhart trained at the Glasgow School of Art. After a year of study in London and Paris in 1878-79, he entered the office of William Wallace at 27a Old Bond Street, London. He set up his own company in 1881. His clients included Joseph Duveen, the Derwent Valley Water Board and the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Co Ltd.
