EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a collection of autographs and vintage postcards, housed at 33 Cadogan Place in London's prestigious SW1 district during the early 20th century. The Anglo-Irish Society family who owned this impressive archive was deeply involved in the planning, design, and construction of the iconic Olympic class liners. Prominently featured among the autographs are those of Guglielmo Marconi and Harold Sanderson. Marconi, an Italian inventor, is renowned for his groundbreaking work on long-distance radio transmission, which revolutionized communication at sea. Sanderson, on the other hand, held the esteemed position of Chairman of the White Star Line, a leading shipping company that pioneered the Olympic class liners, including the RMS Titanic, RMS Olympic, and RMS Britannic. The Anglo-Irish family's connection to this era of maritime history is further emphasized by the presence of postcards depicting the Olympic class liners, as well as the Coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 and the launch of the RMS Olympic in 1903. The ephemera in this collection offers a unique glimpse into the world of transport and travel during the Edwardian period, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of those who shaped the transportation industry during the 1900s. This intriguing collection of autographs and postcards is a testament to the rich history of the Anglo-Irish Society family and their significant role in the planning, design, and building of the Olympic class liners. The presence of autographs from influential figures like Marconi and Sanderson adds an extra layer of historical significance to this valuable archive. Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. is proud to present this exquisite photograph print, which invites us to explore the captivating stories of the past and the remarkable people who shaped our world.
