Carpathia Backdrop Postcard

After rescuing Titanic's survivors, the Cunard liner Carpathia became a sensation literally overnight. The image on this postcard was developed using a travelling backdrop that was designed to make it look like the subjects of the photo were standing on the deck of the ship. Operated similarly to a modern day photo-booth, these Carpathia backdrops were hosted at county fairs and other events, and the postcard was developed while the customer waited.
