[RMS TITANIC]. The Loss of the Titanic. Sunday, April 14th, 1912 [cover title]. Toronto: Meaford-Novelty Co., n.d. [ca. 1912]. Oblong 12mo (146 x 229 mm). Numerous illustrations from photographs and drawings, many full-page. Original pictorial wrappers (upper cover sunned, light rubbing at extremities). A RARE BOOKLET published shortly after the tragic sinking. Deemed “unsinkable”, the RMS Titanic was at the time the largest and most luxurious ship in the world. However, only four days into its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City in April of 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg. Nearly 1,500 of the 2,224 listed passengers perished, making the event one of modern history’s deadliest peacetime commercial marine disasters.
