^Lot 1723 Titanic Memorial

Rare pair of identical Tichnor Bros. “Steamer Titanic” postcards showing Titanic, sailing to the left, with the disaster facts on the bottom. The first printing had the number of lives lost at 1300. When the number was finally made known, the printer’s plate was edited (quite poorly) on the last line for the second printing changing the ‘3’ to a ‘5’ in 1300. Set includes a first printing showing 1300 lives lost, posted Tuesday April 23, 1912, and the second printing shows 1500 lives lost, posted May 9, 1912.
