| Rare Titanic Black Mourning Bear By Steiff. The bear was one of only 600 which were made especially for the British market in May 1912, to show empathy for the loss of the passengers of the R.M.S. Titanic. It is said their eyes were rimmed red to appear as if they had been crying. They were also manufactured with a somber expression. |
Il 15 aprile 1912, alle ore 2:20 del mattino, il transatlantico RMS Titanic si inabissò nell'Oceano Atlantico in seguito alla collisione con un iceberg. 1517 passeggeri persero la vita sulla "nave dei sogni".
Noi oggi qui li ricordiamo con commossa partecipazione.

What a sweet but sad bear, Flora! I am always so impressed with your knowledge. Thank you for sharing this. I never knew they had made these.
RispondiEliminaSuch a sad little bear, and yet so beautiful. A tiny thing so full of memories.
RispondiEliminaI had never heard of a Titanic bear by Steiff, he does look sad and I imagine he is worth a small fortune now. I always get cold shivers when thinking of that sad event.
RispondiEliminaSiempre me han gustado los esos osos de peluche. Me encanta.
