Description

Postmarked April 1912: “I suppose Calvin spoke to you about this ship going down it must of [sic] been awful”

Postcard featuring an artist’s representation of the Titanic in a sea full of icebergs, captioned at the bottom: "Ocean Liner Titanic—Largest Steamer in the World,” with facts about the disaster below. Postmarked April 23, 1912, in New York, and bears a letter in ink, in part: “Well I suppose by this time you are back home again…I suppose Calvin spoke to you about this ship going down it must of [sic] been awful.” A few noticeable creases, otherwise fine condition. A historic letter containing the empathetic reaction of a stunned New Yorker.
