Large 1937 dramatic photograph of the twisted wreckage of the famous airship Hindenburg on the ground at Lakehurst, New Jersey the morning after it burst into flames as one of the worst air disasters in American history. A poignant image as the morning sun illuminates the smoldering steel girders, seeming to symbolize that despite the tragedy, the sun still rises and a new day begins! A large photo that could be hanging in a museum or gallery, this was issued by Underwood and Underwood with a bold stamp on the back and a huge paper caption as well. Perhaps one of the finest images of the Hindenburg disaster out there and one that resonates with the ultimate power of the emerging art form.
