Genuine White Star Line envelope saved by Mme Laroche

Mme Laroche saved this 'second class' envelope in a pocket of the coat her husband Joseph put on her shoulders minutes before leaving the Titanic. This envelope had contained the passage tickets bought at the Paris offices of the White Star Line, at 9 rue Scribe, for Joseph, his pregnant wife Juliette, Simonne and Louise, their daughters.
