A full page from the May 11, 1912, Illustrated London News, 15.75 x 11, with a reproduction of a series of sketches of the sinking of the Titanic, as recounted by survivor John B. Thayer, Jr., while on board the Carpathia. Titled at the top, “Made By A Survivor, On An Overturned Collapsible Boat, As The ‘Titanic’ Was Sinking.” Caption at the bottom notes, “Sketches of the stages of the sinking of the ‘Titanic’ made by Mr. John B. Thayer Jun, while he was on one of the vessel’s collapsible boats, and filled in by Mr. L. P. Skidmore on the Carpathia.” The six images show the ship breaking in two and slowly disappearing below the surface. In fine condition, with some scattered light soiling.
