1912 Two-part composite photograph of Guglielmo Marconi as he was pictured in the days after the Titanic disaster made him a celebrity. His wireless telegraph system aboard the boat is what was used to alert the rescue ships that ended up saving those that survived the initial disaster. He testified in court and changed the course of wireless technology. The images were taken in 1912 (right after the Titanic sinking) and are dated on the back by the original photographer! From the archives of Underwood and Underwood, this is a perfect condition piece of photography.
