Images of the Hindenburg erupting in flames are one of the most enduring snapshots of tragedy engrained into the human soul. While the disaster and its corresponding news coverage are famous, images of the aftermath are quite rare! The offered photograph shows the charred skeletal remains of the former "Queen of the Air" on the ground at Lakehurst, New Jersey. A deeply moving image, the photo is an original with a stamp from the news service, paper caption and date on the back. Oh the Humanity!
