EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dapper and affluent figure of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, an esteemed clubman and horse breeder, in the prime of his life. The image, dated between 1877 and 1915, portrays Vanderbilt in a casual yet elegant attire, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. At the time of this photograph, Vanderbilt's fortunes were at an all-time high. He had secured a coveted passage on an Atlantic liner, bound for England, to continue his pursuits in the horse racing circuit that was popular among the European elite. Little did he know, his journey would be marred by an unforeseen and tragic turn of events. Unfortunately for Vanderbilt, the liner he boarded was none other than the RMS Lusitania. Known for its luxurious amenities and swift travel, the Lusitania was the epitome of oceanic elegance. However, its reputation was about to be forever tarnished by a catastrophic event that would shake the world. On May 7, 1915, the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland, resulting in the tragic loss of over a thousand lives, including that of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unexpected perils that could await even the most fortunate and privileged individuals during a time of war.
