Episode Synopsis

Shortly before his death with the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic, Harry Elkins Widener visited the shop of Bernard Alfred Quaritch in London.  The business continues to operate today and holds fascinating records of the Widener family’s patronage so many years ago—as well as communications between Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach and Bernard Alfred Quaritch as news of the maritime disaster became known.  In this episode of The Rosenbach Podcast, we will engage members of Quaritch’s expert staff today to learn about the company’s Titanic connections before turning to conversations about the state of the rare book trade today.
