^Lot 1740 Titanic German

Extremely rare German real photo of the Titanic leaving on her sea trials, sailing to the right, featuring the text, “‘Titanic’ der gersunkene Oceandampfer,” [the sunken ocean liner], in a nice script font. Smoke is seen from the first three stacks, and the ship is sitting very high in the water with tug seen to the left and at the bow with tow lines clearly in view. Features a German postal cancel on the reverse with a lengthy letter. Mild silvering to the darker areas of the image.
