Extremely rare 1911 vertical White Star Line Fold-Out Cut-Away brochure of Olympic/Titanic entitled, ‘The Largest and Finest Steamers in the World: Olympic, 45,000 Tons/Titanic, 45,000 Tons,” 5.5 x 9.5 folded, and 44 x 9.5 unfolded. Images show port-side cut-away view of Olympic (on bow) and artist’s rendition of interior spaces. Opposite views show interior photos of Olympic’s and Titanic’s lavish rooms, including the cooling rooms of the Turkish bath, first class lounges and reading rooms, and the large salt water pool. In very good condition, with soiling and scattered surface loss to cover, as well as a small tear, a light central vertical fold, some scattered light soiling, and some small separations along folds. Printed October 29, 1911—less than six months before the ship’s tragic sinking—this is a seldom-offered example of the extravagant new liners of the White Star Line. RR Auction COA.
