‘This going away from home will make me a better man and try and lead a good life. The Titanic is a marvel I can tell you I have never seen such a sight in all my life, she is like a floating palace, everything up to date.’ – Percy Bailey, Second Class Passenger.
This limited edition collates some of the most moving and poignant letters to be sent by passengers from RMS Titanic, prior to and post her untimely sinking in the early hours of 15 April 1912. Carefully curated by George Behe, this selection of letters tells the lamentable story in the unique and powerful way only true first-hand accounts can.
Included are biographies of each writer, an introduction by George Behe and a foreword by Bob Richardson, Library Manager at St Bride Library, London. Set and cast in ‘Monotype’ Imprint with Gill Sans Light and Caslon display. The Imprint typeface was designed in 1912, the year of Titanic’s fateful voyage.
This edition has been letterpress-printed on 150gsm Bockingford mould-made paper and handbound at the craft bindery of Blissetts, Royal Warrant Holders in London. Each copy contains a piece of letterpress printed ephemera, reproduced from original material, as well as a 12-page coloured plate section.
