Home from the Sea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and historic first edition book published by Cassell and Company in 1912, penned by Sir Arthur H. Rostron, the esteemed Commodore of the White Star Line and the captain who led the rescue mission for the stranded passengers of the RMS Titanic. The image on the cover of this precious tome is a painting by the same name, created by Sir Arthur himself. The painting depicts the RMS Titanic, in all its former glory, making its way through the tranquil ocean waters, with a lone white star shining brightly at the forefront. The ship, a symbol of luxury and elegance, is surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean, dotted with other vessels in the distance, forming a fleeting convoy. The star-studded night sky above adds to the serene and almost dreamlike atmosphere of the scene. However, the beauty of the image is tinged with a sense of melancholy, as we know that the Titanic, despite its majestic appearance, was on a fateful journey that would end in tragedy just a few days after this painting was captured. The title "Home from the Sea" suggests a return to safety and comfort, yet the Titanic was anything but a safe haven for its passengers on that fateful night. The first edition of "Home from the Sea" by Sir Arthur H. Rostron, with its beautiful and evocative cover art, is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that ply its waters, as well as a poignant reminder of the human stories that unfolded on the high seas. The presence of some foxing, or age-related spots and stains, only adds to the book's historical significance and charm.
