EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the White Star Line, RMS Titanic collection of passengers Richard and Stanley May offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those who were aboard the ill-fated ship. The letter dated 5 July 1913, penned by Henry Wotton, a Titanic cross channel passenger, expresses gratitude to Mr. May for lending him a copy of "The Loss of The Titanic" by Lawrence Beesley.
What makes this piece truly special is that it includes Stanley May's personal copy of the book, complete with pencil notations made by both brothers. The letter itself was found tucked inside its pages, adding an extra layer of intimacy to this historical artifact.
The handwriting on the letter is beautifully preserved, offering a direct connection to these individuals who experienced one of history's most tragic events firsthand. It serves as a tangible reminder of the human stories behind the statistics and headlines surrounding the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912.
This unique piece from Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. transports us back in time to Streatham Park Lodge in London where Mr. May resided, allowing us to touch and feel history through his own words and sentiments expressed in this heartfelt correspondence.
