10th Belfast Bookpost Cruise Dear Herbert Hope Keeping Postally Rare Real Signal Steamer Titanic Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This real photo postcard, part of the White Star Line's Signal Series, offers a rare and poignant glimpse into the past. The image showcases the magnificent RMS Titanic, the unsinkable ship, docked in Belfast Harbour before its fateful voyage. The postcard bears the inscription, "RMS Titanic, White Star Line," and was postally used on February 10, 1912. The message on the reverse reads, "Dear Father, I'm over in Belfast on the Titanic. Hope you are both keeping quite well. Herbert." The Titanic, a symbol of luxury and innovation, was the largest and most opulent ocean liner of its time. It represented the pinnacle of transportation technology and was the epitome of elegance and comfort for passengers. This postcard, sent by a young man named Herbert, provides a tangible connection to the past, offering a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation surrounding the Titanic's maiden voyage. The real photo postcard's authenticity is further enhanced by the presence of a cancellation mark, indicating that it was indeed mailed. The 1910s, a time of great change and progress, are brought to life through this unique artifact. The Titanic, unfortunately, went down on April 15, 1912, making this pre-sinking postcard an even more valuable and intriguing piece of history. This postcard, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the power of communication and the enduring allure of the Titanic. It invites us to reflect on the past and the human stories that are woven into the fabric of history.
