Original 1947 AP Wire Photo capturing the spectacular annual regatta on Venice's Grand Canal, with gondolas racing toward the Rialto Bridge as thousands of spectators crowd the canal banks, balconies, and boats. The original wire caption is printed directly on the photo. Measures approximately 9¼ x 6¾ inches. Displays typical newsroom handling wear, including edge and corner wear with remnants of period tape at the corners. A beautiful international travel and historic Venice image from the postwar era. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
