(TITANIC). SHUMAN, Eleanor (1910-98).

This Illinoisan was but 18 months old on April 15, 1912, when the Titanic sank -- she, her mother and brother escaped aboard Lifeboat 15; she was one of the last survivors, and though barely a toddler at the time, claimed to remember the passengers' screams and hands reaching up from a lifeboat to grasp her. Item #51789

PS, heavy stock 8" X 10", n.p., n.y. Fine. A 5½" X 4" glossy color reproduction of an artist's rendering of the Titanic sinking has been mounted to this medium blue acid-free mat board, Shuman signs boldly in black fineline near the lower border, adding "Titanic Survivor" beneath. Undated, but a choice later life example.
