Titanic fever continues to raise temperatures among buyers at auction.
The cards were issued for a luncheon and dinner held aboard the Titanic on April 3, 1912. The Titanic and Majestic examples were two of 46 lots devoted to ocean liners that also included posters from Anchor, Transatlantique, Cunard, Furness, Grace, Hamburg-Amerika, Italian, Pacific, and Yeoward, to name a few. Several of these lots passed, and those that didn't mostly sold within estimates. They gaze at a passing ship under a blue night sky whose stars spell out Adria. Skiing and sports posters rounded out the auction with more than 145 examples offered to buyers.
