She added that her role would be technical advisor, and to help with information relating to the story. She went on to say that they would offer a good price for her assistance and that no doubt Selznick International Pictures would be in touch, once everything had been confirmed.

A special issue Sears fashion catalogue of Lady Duff-Gordon designs, Fall & Winter , Chicago and New York, Copyright 1916 Sears, Roebuck and Co., Chicago. Forty-eight pages with doubleflapped tan covers and fine string binding. The cover features a full- length affixed classy photograph of Lady Duff-Gordon (by Ira L.

The interior consists of an address by Ms. Duff- Gordon, an article by her entitled, "How I Think American Women Should Dress," a fashion biography including an 13 of 22

15 introduction to the catalogue and a photo of Duff-Gordon at work in her studio. The catalogue contains beautifully displayed fashions shown both in illustration and on human models. Each outfit is accompanied by a description and a printed signature of Duff-Gordon. It is obvious that some effort and expense was made in producing this catalogue, and this example is in exceptional condition. Some of the illustrations and printing in the interior are in green ink while the majority of the text is in dark brown ink. The prices, of course, are 1916 vintage with an "Afternoon frock of charmeuse and crepe Georgette" entitled "My Promise" listed for $27.50 (USD). Each of the fashions is identified by a special title and, interestingly, each human model is credited by a "model No." The last page of the catalogue consists of ordering instructions. The original order form with two addressed mailing envelopes, as well as a full length portrait of Duff-Gordon containing her printed signature are still present as inserts to the catalogue. Sears, Roebuck and Co. (Sears) is an American chain of department stores founded in the late 19th century by Richard Walton Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck on the premise of customer satisfaction. The renowned Sears satisfaction-or-your-money-back guarantee appears next to each offering in this catalogue and continues to be the company's policy to this day. Lady Duff- Gordon produced an economical line of fashions for Sears spanning two catalogues, including this one. Scarce in this condition and with the inserts. Lady Duff-Gordon, her husband, Sir Cosmo, and her maid boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg. By then, Lucile was already an established fashion designer. The Duff-Gordons and their maid were rescued in lifeboat 1 which carried only 12 people despite having a capacity for 40. Their rescue was not without controversy. Cosmo Duff-Gordon had promised the crew members of their lifeboat 5 each to cover the cost of their lost possessions. The gesture was later viewed as an incentive for the crew not to return to pick up additional survivors. The Duff-Gordons denied this but their lifeboat was nevertheless dubbed "The Money Boat". Lady Duff-Gordon passed away in London in April ins. x 13ins. Lot: 292 **R.M.S. TITANIC - STUNNING VINTAGE PRINT OF JESSE STRAUS:A strikingly vivid original vintage colour print of Jesse Straus, eldest son of First Class Titanic victims Isidor and Ida Straus, by artist E.H. Baker, circa On June 8th 1913 in the presence of more than 5000 people in the restaurant of the R.H. Macy Company on Herald Square, Jesse Straus accepted the presentation of a memorial plaque dedicated to his parents by the employees of Macy's. Isidor had been a co-owner of the store. Since his father's death, Jesse and other members of the family had become more active in the business. Until recently, the plaque was on display in the arcade of the store's 34th Street entrance. The plaque reads, in part: "Their lives were beautiful and their deaths glorious". On accepting the plaque, Jesse said, in part: "Your thoughts to erect a tablet at the entrance of the workshop in which our father spent so much of his life, and for which he had such a strong attachment, is as unusual as it is expressive of your loving sympathy, and words fail me to express our appreciation and gratitude". Although he was politically active and held several official posts, Jesse Straus's legacy seems concealed in obscurity. He died at his home in New York in Interestingly, Jesse was a memorabilia collector. His collection of ephemera is housed at Vassar College in America. The plaque was returned by Macy's to his family. Lot: 293 R.M.S. TITANIC: An original glossy photograph of Mrs. William Howard Taft, widow of the late U.S. President and Chief Justice, as she unveiled the memorial often referred to as the Women's Titanic Memorial (so named because a committee of women secured its funding), in Potomac Park, Washington, D.C. on 26th May President and Mrs. Hoover were also in attendance.

As an adult he and his family resided in Lima, Peru where he represented a London business firm, often travelling to London for business. He was returning from a business trip to Lima on Titanic via New York, occupying stateroom E-17. Henry Aldridge & Son previously sold First Class bedroom steward Edmund Stone's master stateroom key for E-deck cabins E-1 to E-42, which included Daly's cabin E-17 as Stone would have been his steward. Daly was rescued, apparently in a collapsible lifeboat, but details surrounding his rescue are somewhat sketchy.

There does not appear to be a record of the transfer having actually occurred. Given the need for a passenger to be cleared through immigration and the unlikeliness of the Carpathia stopping to disembark a 14 of 22
