Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, Illinois & Titanic Newspaper


Museum of Science and Industry
Chicago, Illinois

The Story of the Living Room - The same living room gives glimpses of home life in four historic periods.  This card shows the 1912 room with an Edison phonograph with cylinder records, and a Chicago American dated April 16, 1912, announcing the sinking of the Titanic.

This is postmarked in 2011 with a 28 cent stamp.
