Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (oversize 1945 print)
Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima (oversize 1945 print)
An amazing vintage 1945 (dated Apr 9) printing of Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize winning photograph. Printed on huge 12x17" paper, this is an incredible artifact relevant to the history of America, warfare, and photography.
Interestingly, the print purports to identify the flag raisers, although several of these identifications would prove to be inaccurate in the coming months. It correctly notes that Ira H. Hayes and Michael Strank were among the flag raisers. These inaccuracies further mark this as an important and unique part of the historical process.
Print is in good condition, with a tear at top left and bottom center, and other edge wear. Has some small surface marks, but the main printed part of the image is in excellent condition.
