Rare original photo of the Titanic iceberg

Remarkable original first generation glossy 5.5 x 4 photograph of the infamous iceberg that the Titanic struck on the night of April 14, 1912. The photograph, taken by Carpathia passenger Louis M. Ogden on the morning of April 15, depicts the North Atlantic horizon, with the iceberg to direct center. In fine condition, with a few small creases. Louis M. Ogden was a New York socialite aboard the RMS Carpathia during the Titanic disaster who helped to photograph, document, and assist the survivors. This was among the thirty images he captured that day. Photographs of this iceberg remain extremely rare.
