Seven snapshot photographs, measuring about 3.5" x 5", including white borders. Prints in fine condition. Each photograph depicts the graveside ceremony during the funeral for Orville Wright, the last surviving of the Wright Brothers, who invented the first successful airplane. Wright died on January 30, 1948 in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, nearly four decades after the untimely passing of his brother Wilbur. The photographs are uncredited. The lone printed word "Velox" appears on the verso of each image, though it is nearly entirely faded. This dates the images to the 1940s or early 1950s, indicating that these are contemporary prints from the original negatives. The images mostly center Wright's headstone as the main subject, but some of the shots show numerous mourners, some of whom might be identifiable to aviation enthusiasts. A unique curiosity, which could differentiate any Wright collection from its peers.

Descrizione libreria

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
