One of the most iconic moments of the 20th century, this photograph shows the mighty German Zeppelin "Hindenburg" as it burst into flames above Lakehurst, New Jersey and into the history books. This exact image shows people scrambling about either toward the wreckage to help, or away from the heat and flames. A dramatic image of the light generated from the explosion contrasting the darkness of the darkness setting in as the sun disappears and turns to night. Stamped on the back by Acme and with a full paper caption, this is an extremely rare dated original.
