First-printing Tichnor Bros. postcard featuring an artist’s rendition of the Titanic at sea, captioned at the bottom: "Steamer Titanic,” with facts about the disaster listed below. Postmarked April 23, 1912, aboard the USS Virginia, and bears a brief letter in ink, in full: “This picture will give you a better idea of the size of the Titanic.” Mild toning and soiling, and a trivial crease to the lower right corner tip, otherwise fine condition. The first printing of this postcard had the number of lives lost at 1300, and the printing plate was edited to read 1500 for the second printing. An uncommon error postcard with an explanatory letter from right after the disaster, when the people worldwide were tremendously interested in the ship and the tragedy.
