Unused color postcard by the White Star Publishing Company of New York, featuring an artist’s rendition of Captain Smith saving a child from the ocean’s clutches, captioned at the bottom: “Captain Smith saving a Child while the Ship was going down. April 15, 1912.” The postcard also shows the collapsible lifeboat ‘A’ being rescued by the lifeboat commanded by Fifth Officer Lowe. In fine condition, with light corner tip dings and creases, and a few mild areas of toning to the reverse. Contrary to this artist’s optimistic depiction, it is believed that Smith died alone on the ship’s bridge as it went under.
