introduction to the catalogue and a photo of Duff-Gordon atwork in her studio. The catalogue contains beautifully displayedfashions shown both in illustration and on human models. Eachoutfit is accompanied by a description and a printed signatureof Duff-Gordon. It is obvious that some effort and expense wasmade in producing this catalogue, and this example is inexceptional condition. Some of the illustrations and printing inthe interior are in green ink while the majority of the text is indark brown ink. The prices, of course, are 1916 vintage with an"Afternoon frock of charmeuse and crepe Georgette" entitled"My Promise" listed for $27.50 (USD). Each of the fashions isidentified by a special title and, interestingly, each humanmodel is credited by a "model No." The last page of thecatalogue consists of ordering instructions. The original orderform with two addressed mailing envelopes, as well as a fulllength portrait of Duff-Gordon containing her printed signatureare still present as inserts to the catalogue. Sears, Roebuckand Co. (Sears) is an American chain of department storesfounded in the late 19th century by Richard Walton Sears andAlvah Curtis Roebuck on the premise of customer satisfaction.The renowned Sears satisfaction-or-your-money-backguarantee appears next to each offering in this catalogue andcontinues to be the company's policy to this day. Lady Duff-Gordon produced an economical line of fashions for Searsspanning two catalogues, including this one. Scarce in thiscondition and with the inserts. Lady Duff-Gordon, her husband,Sir Cosmo, and her maid boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg. Bythen, Lucile was already an established fashion designer. TheDuff-Gordons and their maid were rescued in lifeboat 1 whichcarried only 12 people despite having a capacity for 40. Theirrescue was not without controversy. Cosmo Duff-Gordon hadpromised the crew members of their lifeboat £5 each to coverthe cost of their lost possessions. The gesture was later viewedas an incentive for the crew not to return to pick up additionalsurvivors. The Duff-Gordons denied this but their lifeboat wasnevertheless dubbed "The Money Boat". Lady Duff-Gordonpassed away in London in April 1935. 9ins. x 13ins.

TITANIC - STUNNING VINTAGE PRINT OF JESSESTRAUS:A strikingly vivid original vintage colour print of JesseStraus, eldest son of First Class Titanic victims Isidor and IdaStraus, by artist E.H. Baker, circa 1930. On June 8th 1913 inthe presence of more than 5000 people in the restaurant of theR.H. Macy Company on Herald Square, Jesse Straus acceptedthe presentation of a memorial plaque dedicated to his parentsby the employees of Macy's. Isidor had been a co-owner of thestore. Since his father's death, Jesse and other members of thefamily had become more active in the business. Until recently,the plaque was on display in the arcade of the store's 34thStreet entrance. The plaque reads, in part: "Their lives werebeautiful and their deaths glorious". On accepting the plaque,Jesse said, in part: "Your thoughts to erect a tablet at theentrance of the workshop in which our father spent so much ofhis life, and for which he had such a strong attachment, is asunusual as it is expressive of your loving sympathy, and wordsfail me to express our appreciation and gratitude". Although hewas politically active and held several official posts, JesseStraus's legacy seems concealed in obscurity. He died at hishome in New York in 1936. Interestingly, Jesse was amemorabilia collector. His collection of ephemera is housed atVassar College in America. The plaque was returned by Macy'sto his family.

However, she decided to returnto Washington and booked her passage on the Titanic. Herticket number was 382652, costing £29. She embarked atQueenstown with her five sons. It is believed this photographwas taken in Cork before they left. After the ship struck theiceberg, Mrs. Rice was seen by Third Class passenger BerthaMulvihill sitting in the steerage area holding her youngest sonEugene aged two with the rest of her children, Arthur, Eric,George and Albert, holding her skirt.

Minia. The Mackay-Bennett was launched in September 1884and this photo was taken soon thereafter while the ship wasanchored in Halifax Harbour and "looking" eastward towardsthe Dartmouth shore. It is almost certainly the work of WilliamNotman, a Scottish photographer working in Canada, as thestyle and negative number found in the lower margin are similarto other known examples of Notman's work. Interestingly,Notman was an official photographer for the Centennialcelebration of the United States, he won the only gold medal tobe awarded by the British judges there; and his portraitidentification card required for entrance to the grounds was thepredecessor of many of today's photo ID cards. Notman'soriginal collection of negatives, perhaps including the negativefor this image, are housed at the McCord Museum of CanadianHistory in Montreal. This is indeed a rare opportunity to acquirean original image of the Mackay-Bennett as she looked shortlyafter launch, and unaware of the task that would await her in1912. 9ins. x 10ins.

there was some initial confusion regarding its disposition, Gill'sbody was buried at sea. Numerous objects were recoveredfrom his body and catalogued before they were returned to hiswidow. One of the items returned was this 1906 U.S. silver halfdollar coin which Gill had acquired to spend in America. Gill'swidow could not spend it in England and retained it along withGill's other effects which remained in the family for some time.The coin was included in the list of recovered body effectsprepared by the provincial coroner of Nova Scotia.

Lot: 337R.M.S. TITANIC - TITANIC SURVIVOR EDITH RUSSELLORIGINAL DRAFT LETTER: Russell, 33, boarded the Titanicas a First Class passenger at Cherbourg and occupied cabin A-11. She had been in Paris reporting on French fashions whenshe decided to return to the United States on Titanic. Althoughsomewhat of a celebrity in her own right as a fashion writer andwar correspondent, Russell's real claim to fame began after shemet Titanic historian Walter Lord at the New York premier of the1953 Titanic film. She and Lord became good friends and Lordincluded her story in his legendary book "A Night to Remember"(Henry Holt, 1955). Afterwards, Russell served as the technicaladvisor to the 1958 film version of 'A Night to Remember' (RankOrganisation, 1958) which featured her musical pig, Maxixe,named after the ragtime song it played. Russell's mother hadgiven it to her as a good luck mascot and she brought it withher on Titanic. A steward fetched it from her cabin before shegot into a lifeboat. Russell died in London in 1975. Shebequeathed the toy pig to Lord who then bequeathed it to theMaritime Museum at Greenwich, where it is now on display.According to Lord, the song still played when he wound thepig's tail. This lot consists of a seven page typed draft letterfrom Russell to an unnamed recipient, addressed "Dear Sir,"and headed, "Paris, 12th April 1917". The letter contains

detailed information and advice on current fashions andseasonal trends as well as some of Russell's opinions on thefashions. There are ink changes throughout, apparently inRussell's hand, and the words "Uncorrected copy," amongothers are written at the top of the first page.

My dear Norah & Edie Thanks foryour letter received this morning which I was glad to have & toknow that you were allright . I would have written to you but sobusy & so uncertain what I was going to do. I am on the Titanicbut I am not sure I am sailing on her yet, I tried to get toLiverpool yesterday but could not manage it but I am not quitesure of going yet. I am wondering whether Mother has had thebusiness settled yet. Will you ask her to let me know. I think MrWilliams was arranging it for her without any expense ask herto let me know, if I go on this ship we sail on Wednesday & willbe back in 17 days & I will try & come up then I have been keptvery busy on board all day on Good Friday & again todaySunday with the crew getting the ship ready she is very farbehind to sail on Wednesday working on her night & day, she isan improvement on the Olympic in many respects & is awonderful ship the latest thing in shipbuilding I would like you allto see her I hope you like you new business & that you will geton there until something better turns up I don't think I havemuch more to say hope to see you all soon with very best loveto mother & you both from Uncle Harry.

Lot: 341R.M.S. TITANIC: Stunning Titanic lifeboat photograph. Originalvery close-in photo of Titanic's lifeboats being lowered fromCarpathia's boat deck at White Star Line's Pier 59 in New York.The image shows minute detail, even showing the operation ofthe pulley mechanism for lowering the lifeboats which can beseen in action, along with crewmen in the boats to work theother end as they were lowered into the water. One can onlyassume that once they were lowered, the crewmen had to rowthe boats to the dock as there does not appear to be any otherway to have tethered them to the pier. Throngs of passengersare curiously absent from the outer decks. The survivors weredoubtless anxiously awaiting their next stop at Cunard's Pier 54where they would finally disembark. This photograph single-handedly captures a process that is often referred to only inpassing. The off-loading of Titanic's lifeboats was clearly morethan a footnote in Titanic's saga and, as evidenced here, quitean involved process rather than a "brief stop" to unload Titanic'slifeboats as is often described. 6ins. x 8ins.

Lot: 345R.M.S. TITANIC: Extremely important First Class onboardluncheon menu from April 14th 1912, this example is one ofonly a handful of its type in existence, it is sold via directdescent from First Class passenger Dr. Washington Dodge. Dr.Dodge was travelling on Titanic with his wife & son, WashingtonJunior, occupying Cabin A84 which cost £81.17s. 2d. Dr.Dodge was rescued in lifeboat No. 13, but his wife and sonwere in No. 5. It gives a fascinating insight into the culinaryexperience of First Class passengers onboard Titanic and whatthey ate on the last lunch served on the ship. Served overseveral courses the passengers had the choice of Egg AArgenteuil, Consommé Fermier, Chicken a 'la Maryland orGalantine of Chicken to name but a few of the 40 options onoffer. Shortly after arriving in New York aboard the rescue shipCarpathia Dr. Dodge was interviewed and gave his account ofthe last hours of the ship. "We had retired to our stateroom, andthe noise of the collision was not at all alarming. We had justfallen asleep. My wife awakened me and said that somethinghad happened to the ship. We went on deck and everythingseemed quiet and orderly. The orchestra was playing a livelytune. They started to lower the lifeboats after a lapse of someminutes. There was little excitement as the lifeboats were beinglaunched; many of the first-cabin passengers expressed theirpreference of staying on the ship. The passengers were

constantly being assured that there was no danger, but that asa matter of extra precaution the women and children should beplaced in the lifeboats. Everything was still quiet and orderlywhen I placed Mrs. Dodge and the boy in the fourth or fifthboat. I believe there were 20 boats lowered away altogether. Idid what I could to help in keeping order, as after the sixth orseventh boat was launched the excitement began. Some of thepassengers fought with such desperation to get into thelifeboats that the officers shot them, and their bodies fell intothe ocean. It was 10:30 when the collision occurred, and 1:55o'clock when the ship went down, Major Archibald Butt stoodwith John Jacob Astor as the water rolled over the Titanic. I sawColonel Astor, Major Butt and Captain Smith standing togetherabout 11:30 o'clock. There was absolutely no excitementamong them. Captain Smith said there was no danger. Thestarboard side of the Titanic struck the big berg and the ice waspiled up on the deck. None of us had the slightest realizationthat the ship had received its death wound. Mrs. [Isidor] Strausshowed most admirable heroism. She refused in a verydetermined manner to leave her husband, although she wastwice entreated to get into the boats. Straus declined with greatfor to get in the boat while any women were left. I wish youwould say for me that Colonel Astor, Major Butt, Captain Smithand every man in the cabins acted the part of a hero in thatawful night. As the excitement began I saw an officer of theTitanic shoot down two steerage passengers who wereendeavouring to rush the lifeboats. I have learned since thattwelve of the steerage passengers were shot altogether, oneofficer shooting down six. The first-cabin men and womenbehaved with great heroism." "One of the stewards of theTitanic, with whom Mrs. and Mrs. Dodge had crossed theAtlantic before on the Olympic, knew them well. He recognizedDodge as the thirteenth boat was being filled. The steeragepassengers were being shot down and some of the steeragepassengers were stabbing right and left in an endeavour toreach the boat. The thirteenth boat was filled on one side withchildren, fully 20 or 30 of them, and a few women. All in theboat were panic-stricken and screaming. The steward had beenordered to take charge of the thirteenth, and, seizing Dodge,pushed him into the boat, exclaiming that he needed his help incaring for his helpless charges. Dodge said that when the boatswere drawing away from the ship they could hear the orchestraplaying "Lead, Kindly Light," and rockets were going up fromthe Titanic in the wonderfully clear night. "We could see fromthe distance that two boats were being made ready to belowered. The panic was in the steerage, and it was that portionof the ship that the shooting was made necessary. "I will neverforget," Mrs. Dodge said, "the awful scene of the great steameras we drew away. From the upper rails heroic husbands andfathers were waving and throwing kisses to their womenfolk inthe receding lifeboats." The steward that Dr Dodge referred toin his interview was Frederick Dent Ray, the menu carries ahand written inscription on its reverse With compliments & bestwishes from Frederic Dent Ray, 56 Palmer Park, Reading,Berks". The menu itself is said to have survived the sinking inMrs Dodge's purse and has remained with the Dodge familysince.
