Interior of the passenger/cargo liner 'Kaisar-i-Hind' (1914) showing the First Class Dining Saloon, on the Upper Deck; a view from the starboard side, looking forward and showing the oval well above the central area. An organ is visible in the background.

The main public rooms on the 'Kaisar-i-Hind' were designed by the Arts and Crafts architect Thomas Edward Collcutt (1840-1924). Collcutt was a regular choice as architect for P&O in this period. In addition to this work on ships, he designed the company’s headquarters in Leadenhall Street, London, and the P&O pavilions for the Royal Naval Exhibition in 1891, and the Paris International Exhibition in 1900.
