1231    Lusitania

R.M.S. Lusitania, Triumph or the Edwardian Age by Eric Sauder and Ken Marschall

A superb tour de force of this sadly neglected liner in stunningly clear photographs.  Archives and private collections throughout the world were scoured to find these amazing photos, most of which have not been published since 1915 or before.  50 pages. 110 illustrations.  Included is a foreword by Avis Dolphin Foley, who survived the sinking at the age of 12.  Also included is a complete set of drawings of the torpedoing and the sinking done by first-class survivor Oliver P. Bernard, a scenic designer for Covent Garden.  A book that no ocean liner collection should be without.  In very good condition with some slight scuffing to the cover.  $48.
