THIS RARE ITEM IS: a never seen 4 x 5 color transparency of A-BOMB test in the Southern Nevada desert in the early 1950s. Since I don't have a scanner that will accomodate a 4 x 5 negative, I've shown a vertical and a horizontal so the buyer can see that it is in fact a 4 x 5 image. There is a small "dot" (speck of dirt, or whatever) on the image, it can easily be corrected, as shown in Image #3. I personally corrected scan after it was made. Have added on 2/11 Image #4: a 4 x 5 proof from the archival negative (printed in the 1970s). Have added Image #5: this is a ONE-OF-A-KIND 7 x 9 Press Photo taken at the Flamingo Hotel in the early 1950s; that is Hotel Executive Abe Schiller in the cashier's cage for this publicity photo taken by Don English of the Desert Sea News Bureau (forerunner of the Las Vegas News Bureau). ALSO THREE(3) original 4 x 5 photos.
