Rare newspaper page from the April 17, 1912, New York Herald, 16 x 22.5, with headline reading, “Hysterical Crowds Besiege The White Star Line Offices,” and features a chilling editorial sketch by W. A. Rogers of Grim Death counting off the lost lives next to a table marked "One Chance in Three." This referred to the fact that the Titanic carried lifeboats for only one third of those aboard, so the chance of survival was one in three. Framed to an overall size of 18 x 24.5. In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold and light uniform toning. It is important to note that the New York Herald maintained its own network of reporters throughout the world, consequently its news was wholly original and not the wire-service reports that were printed in many hundreds of newspapers simultaneously.
