Original c. 1928 photograph of Los Angeles coroner Frank Albert Nance examining a room full of burned bodies in California. A gruesome image that is extremely graphic, this is a shocking piece of photography that is surely the culmination of a major story at the time which needs more research. Issued by Pacific and Atlantic and stamped on the back, this is a nearly perfect photograph.
