Original 1947 Associated Press wirephoto documenting the aftermath of the notable death of Evelyn McHale, age 25, who fell from the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City. The caption states that her body struck and smashed through the steel roof of an unoccupied United Nations official's automobile parked alongside the building. This image shows police and emergency personnel removing the body from the scene. One of the most well-known New York tragedy stories of the postwar era and directly related to the widely collected Evelyn McHale incident. Mounted on period black newspaper display board with original attached AP caption. Measures approximately 9 x 8 inches overall. Expected editorial wear, edge wear, minor creasing, and handling marks from newspaper archive use. Please see photos.
