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! Photo presents well grading almost perfect.
