Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo showing New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey speaking before a flag-draped casket during memorial services in Central Park honoring American World War II dead. The AP caption identifies the casket as that of a Medal of Honor recipient, symbolizing the 6,250 New York servicemen whose remains had recently arrived from Europe. A powerful postwar image featuring Dewey, military honor guards, and one of New York's major WWII remembrance ceremonies. This image came from a Pittsburgh-area newspaper archive and is mounted on black paper. Measures approximately 6¾" x 9". Shows expected age-related wear, handling marks, mounting remnants, and newsroom use. Please see photos.
