Original approximately 7⅛ x 5½ inch 1947 Associated Press wire photo showing Los Angeles Fire Department rescue crews working desperately to revive two young boys pulled unconscious from a West Los Angeles reservoir. Their fathers, Walter Lane and Robert Trompetto, watch nearby as rescuers continue a four-hour effort to save five-year-old Richard Lane and six-year-old James Lynn Trompetto. The caption, printed directly on the photograph, states that another five-year-old boy witnessed them fall into the water and summoned help, but the boys could not be revived. Shows age, edge wear, corner wear, tape residue, creasing, and newsroom handling. This photograph comes from the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
