Ida Straus was an accomplished artist. We have several images of her pencil drawings that were completed before she married Isidor. Unfortunately, we have no further images of Ida's artwork after this period or any evidence that she continued to draw or paint after her marriage.

Isidor and Ida Straus were booked on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic with Ida’s new English maid, Ellen Bird, and Isidor’s valet, John Farthing #titanic #rmstitanic #sinking #isidorstraus #idastraus #isidorandidastraus #whitestarline #titanic disaster #sinking ofthetitanic

Lazarus Straus' passport was issued from Sarraguemines France on May 26, 1852. It was better to say one was from France than from Bavaria. He probably traveled through France to Le Havre where he booked passage to Philadelphia. shorturl.at/Rbvwx
