Six unused Bamforth & Co. Ltd. postcards depicting the Titanic’s sinking: two with a horizontal image of a woman peering out upon the disaster with an image of Jesus above the wreck, and the words “Nearer My God to Thee” hovering over the ocean; one with a vertical image of a woman kneeling in a white robe at the ocean’s edge, with the music to “Nearer, My God, to Thee” at the top and lyrics to one verse at the bottom; one with a vertical image of a woman in a white robe standing against a column with flowers to the left side and Jesus in front of a lighted cross above the sinking ship to the right; one with a similar vertical image of the distressed woman against a column to the right side and the Titanic below a glowing cross to the left; and one with the words “Nearer My God to Thee” in the sky over a lighted cross above a large depiction of the Titanic surrounded by six lifeboats. Light foxing and soiling to the reverse of each postcard, otherwise fine condition. An interesting group of images that border on the melodramatic.
