Unused Rotary ‘Photographic Series’ real photo postcard depicting the Titanic leaving Southampton, captioned at the bottom: “White Star Liner Titanic, Length 882 ft. 6 ins. Breadth 92 ft. 6 ins. 45,000 Tonnage. Sailed from Southampton on her ill-fated maiden voyage on April 10th, 1912, carrying 2,350 passengers and crew. Struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland, perished on Monday, April 15th, 1912.” In fine condition, with a crease to the upper left corner tip. An exceptionally clear photo of the Titanic at the start of her voyage, with an interesting error in the caption—rather than the 2,350 quoted, there were 2,224 people actually aboard the ship. A superb postcard.
