1944 Huge double weight photograph of the SS Paul Hamilton as it exploded and illuminated the sky over the Pacific Ocean. A famous WWII photograph that we have never seen in original form before, this is a huge blank backed specimen that we believe to be a 1940's example based on the paper and the photographic process used. Offered here for the first time ever, this once was part of a gallery exhibition shortly after WWII!
