1937 Incredible photograph of the airship Hindenburg in Lakehurst, New Jersey and taken the moment it burst into flames. One of the seminal events of the 20th century, the image evokes tons of emotion and reminds us of the frailty of life as well as the technological advancements that made it possible to capture this event on film. A bold and deep image in fine condition, this is one of the only examples of this spectacular image we have ever seen that actually dates to 1937! We have seen one other example of this photograph that was graded by PSA as a Type 3, so we anticipate this is how they will evaluate this one as well.
