Description

Postmarked April 1912: “Ain’t it H--- to be rich?”

Postcard featuring an artist’s side-view image of the Titanic, captioned below: “S. S. Titanic.” Postmarked April 1912 [appears to be the 11th], in New York, and bears a letter in ink, in full, “Add this to your collection. Ain’t it H--- to be rich?” A few creases and light show-through from ink to the reverse, otherwise fine condition. Four days after sending this letter, the writer must have been very thankful for his inability to pay for a ticket aboard the ship.
