Collection of 14 issues of The Evening Wisconsin, no Sunday editions, all approximately dating from April 15–20, 22–27, and 29 and 30, 1912, with the headlines chronicling the latest developments of the Titanic. April 15 headline states “Titanic Sinking After Collision; Passengers Safe.” The following day the realization of the tragedy is reported in the headline “Titanic Sinks With 1341 Souls—868 Survivors Saved By Carpathia.” Issue also features an image of prominent Milwaukee passenger Captain E. G. Crosby. The April 18 issue has an image of the Titanic at sea, a map showing the area of the accident, and images of prominent passengers including the Astors, Archibald Butt, Isidor Straus, and Frank Millet. Headlines in later issues deal with the inquiry and other issues surrounding the accident, including one which states “Titanic Investigation is ‘Brutally Unfair,’ says J. Bruce Ismay.” In very good condition, with expected toning, fragile pages, edge tears, and binding holes to left edge. A great collection chronicling the first two weeks after the tragedy, which included several prominent Wisconsin residents.
