About This Item
1944. Original black-and-white gelatin-silver press photograph, October 31, 1944. 7 by 9 inches.
Captioned on the back on a mounted label: "A worker at the Scullin Steel Co. in St. Louis moves a completed 6-ton 'earthquake bomb' forward on its platform to a freight car." These bombs were manufactured for the British air force for use on hardened German targets during the Second World War.
An usual homefront munitions image. Very good. Some waviness to paper. The print has several areas of professional touch-up work, to remove portions of the background and to increase contrast.
