1935 Portrait photo of Amelia Earhart wearing his leather aviator helmet/cap and looking apprehensive about the prospect of her solo flight across the Pacific. She would accomplish the feat, solidifying her place in history as one of the most famous people to ever take the air. Unfortunately she would parlay this success into a bigger venture in 1937 that would end up taking her life. A clear and bold silver gelatin original, this is one of her most famous images and it presents well despite a pinhole and some creasing from being handled by the newspaper for eighty years. Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back.
