EDITORS COMMENTS
This extraordinary photograph print showcases a rare and finest piece of Titanic history: a handwritten Marconi gram sent by Guglielmo Marconi to the Carpathia on the fateful night of April 18, 1912, at 3:15 am. The telegram reads, "Wire your news dispatches immediately to MSC or to Navy boats if this is impossible, ask Captain give reason why no news allowed to be transmitted." Marconi testified before the US Senate enquiry that he did not attempt to communicate with the Carpathia, but later admitted to sending this very telegram. The Marconi gram is framed and glazed, proudly displayed above a color portrait of Marconi from Vanity Fair. The provenance of this exceptional piece of history is undeniable, making it a must-have for any Titanic or maritime history collection. During the 1910s, Marconi was a pioneer in wireless communication and played a crucial role in the rescue efforts of the Titanic survivors. This telegram, sent during the critical moments of the disaster, is a testament to his groundbreaking work and the importance of communication in times of crisis. The Marconi gram and portrait are preserved in pristine condition, a reminder of the past and the remarkable story of the unsinkable ship that sank on its maiden voyage. This photograph print is a unique addition to any home or office, transporting us back to a time when the world was forever changed by the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic.
