Description

These photos are hand printed in sepia toned and double matted, from the Mark Reuben Gallery. Each of these images sell for $75 in the gallery. 1) Abraham Lincoln Portrait (sitting) 1862, 16 x 20 including matte, photo by Matthew Brady. Brady was a studio photographer noted mostly for his portraits, including those of Abe Lincoln made -- as many assume -- by securing the president's head to a metal rod so he could hold still for the long exposure. Imagine... "Excuse me, Mr. President while I strap your head in place..." 2) China Clipper: The China Clipper passes over the San Francisco waterfront. The aircraft completed the trip in six days, with a flying time of 59 hours, 48 minutes. Overnight stops included Honolulu, Midway, Wake Island, and Guam. 3) SB2C-4E Helldivers from Bombing Squadron 87 (VB-87) in formation over the Pacific. The squadron was assigned to USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) from May-September 1945.
