They still reproduce these today. Is is an actual newspaper? Is there another side or just a poster print?
This is original print... Total 8 pages
Hi, ashokpabale. Cool. :-)
About the Boston Daily Globe:

I don't know exactly what to tell you about your actual print, as I'm definitely not an expert.
It seems to be in remarkably good condition for a newspaper print that should be over one hundred years old.
I think that the paper used for newspapers tended not to be of high quality, because it was generally assumed to be something people would read and then either discard or use to wrap the kitchen garbage, etc.
One of the stories about the survivors of the Titanic sinking that has always stayed with me is that a lot of them were subsequently unable to engage in activities like attending ball games in stadiums, because the sounds of the crowd would give them flashbacks to the sounds made by the people still on the Titanic when it finally sank.

I was looking through a box of Time Life Magazines from the 50's. I think they were time life but they were old and covered in dust and smelled like a musty old basement. In between a couple magazines I pulled out a news paper. The Boston Daily Globe, April 16, 1912. The front page is Titanic sinks 1500 Die. I'd love to find out if this could real. It's in pretty good shape. It was folded off center and really flattened out. What are your thoughts on this?

The Globe printed a reproduction of that issue for the 75th anniversary of the sinking. There are thousands of these in circulation and they often come up for sale on Ebay. That's not to say yours isn't a genuine 1912 copy, but it does make it a lot less likely.

The original of this newspaper would have been printed letterpress. Given that this was printed on a cylinder letterpress, seeing the impression of the type into the paper will be difficult, but not impossible. Go to any large solid -- a headline or advertisement will do -- and look for a depression of the type into the paper. You can also turn that sheet over and see if the type has punched into the paper enough to slightly raise the type in reverse; as if it has been embossed.
The reprint of this newspaper was printed with the offset process. The type will lay flat on the paper, with no impression visible.

Good information provided above to determine if it is a reprint.
Quantity of reprints made doesn't bode well for it being an original.
Additionally, the original has 22 pages-- not sure how many pages were on the reprint (only 8)? Something else to look at.

Dear Friends

FWIW, here is a lot of the reprints, and the description says that there's twelve pages of coverage on the Titanic:

And here is allegedly an original, found in 2012:

Updated: 12:39 PM MDT Apr 18, 2012
One hundred years after the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, one Truth or Consequences family found and shared a piece of history linked to the catastrophic event.
Connie Baca found a Boston Daily Globe from April 16, 1912 in her father's storage shed. The newspaper details the day after the Titanic sank. For 2 cents, the paper told the tale of the crash that ended with 1,500 dead.
"When (my father) died, we cleaned out the storage and that's when he found it," Baca said. "We were like so shocked about what we found in the paper -- all the stories about some of the people who had died."
For decades, the paper was kept in the cardboard box marked 'Save.' The pages are yellowed and brittle, the corners show some wear and tear, but Baca said the stories will live on.
"I know that the memories that my father left for us and taught us are very important to me and I hope my children will be the same way… and grandchildren ," Baca said.
Baca said she's looking for a better way to preserve the newspaper, so it can be passed on to her grandchildren.

Hi again, ashokpabale. :-)
I think the only way to ascertain whether your newspaper print is a 1912 original is the method described at the encyclopedia dot org forum (see above).
Also, if you think your print is indeed a 1912 original, you should store and otherwise handle it carefully, e.g.:
https://www.archivalmethods.com/blog/storing-old-newspapers/
Have you looked at the page numbers?
Front and back sequence may reveal the answer.
scott
scottvez, I think I may now understand what you're talking about with the page sequence numbers.
In other words, in the original edition, the sinking of the Titanic certainly was front page news, but all of the articles about it were not necessarily printed in their entirety on the front page. They might have been continued on subsequent pages.
The page sequence numbers might not necessarily be the same in the 1987 reproductions.
From your cited information and my searches, it appears the reprint was short around ten pages from the original paper.
Front and back of the same sheet should be sequential. The back of the lead page should be page #2. The back of page #3 should be #4....
I also agree that the continuation notations should follow as well.
It is just a quick check. I am not that familiar with the reprints, so this may not be helpful.
scott
scottvez, OK.
Here's another 1987 reprint which is advertised as consisting of twelve pages. However, it's an amalgam of content from the morning and evening editions.
It does have a few pictures of some of the pages, but they're not terribly clear:

I was hoping to find a copy of the original where somebody had scanned in the whole schmear, but no joy.
Thanks Friends for your valuable suggestions ????
