NEW YORK JOURNAL, April 16, 1912  

* Terrific RMS Titanic sinking issue for display

As the photos show, this is one of the better Titanic reports we have had the pleasure to offer. Collectors like dramatic & graphic headlines with major events, and this issue delivers with a screaming banner headline: "WORLD'S GREATEST SEA TRAGEDY" TITANIC'S DEAD 1,500" "J.J. Astor Drowns - Mrs. Astor Saved" "Hope That Virginian May Have Rescued Some", all consuming the entire top half of the front page.
The "Bulletin" beneath the headlines reports the latest information as received by time of publication, including a: "Partial List of Those Saved and Taken Aboard the 
Rescue Ship".
Fine reporting continues on inside pages with several illustrations and photos.
Contains 22 pages, foxing to a portion of the front page as shown in the photos, light rubbing at the central fold. This is not a "pulpish" paper as would be more typical with newspapers of the era.

Background: The April 16, 1912 edition of the New York Journal captures a seminal moment in modern history, documenting the immediate, shock-inducing aftermath of the "WORLD'S GREATEST SEA TRAGEDY" when the RMS Titanic sank after striking an iceberg. This front page—dominated by screaming banner headlines reporting "TITANIC'S DEAD 1,500" alongside the tragic confirmation that high-society figure "J.J. Astor Drowns - Mrs. Astor Saved"—serves as a primary source reflecting the overwhelming human toll and high-society fallout of the disaster. Beyond its heartbreaking casualties, the issue records the chaotic "fog of war" news gathering of the era through breaking news "Bulletin" updates, a "Partial List of Those Saved and Taken Aboard the Rescue Ship" (the RMS Carpathia), and fragile, unconfirmed rumors such as "Hope That Virginian May Have Rescued Some". Enhanced by fine interior reporting, historical photos, and illustrations, this newspaper stands as a monumentally significant artifact that encapsulates both the sudden end of Gilded Age optimism and the immense grief of a world coming to terms with an unprecedented maritime catastrophe.
