Stunning 1948 photograph of an atomic bomb being detonated over the pacific ocean and creating a beautiful disaster that can only be described here as a complete work of art. As the atomic energy produces a light that breaks the darkness over the ocean, the ripple of the ocean and mushroom cloud produced by the explosion are a beautiful reminder of the cost of war and technology. Issued by the International News and with a long and extensive paper caption on the back, this is one of the best images of an atomic bomb blast we have ever seen in any form!
