Isidor-Ida-Straus

This past April, CSM Art & Frame took part in an amazing exhibit of documents and memorabilia pertaining to the the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. We framed several condolence letters (one from Thomas Edison), that were written to the family of Mr. Strauss. The letters were regarding the death of his sister in law, Ida, and brother, Isidor Strauss, co-founder of Macy’s. In April the descendants of the family gathered at the store to honor the memories of the couple, who perished on that fateful day and commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
