Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo showing an aerial view of downtown Rutland, Vermont, after a devastating flash flood. The original caption notes that the flooding washed out a railroad bridge and damaged homes along the riverbanks. The image provides a striking overhead perspective of the destruction left behind as floodwaters tore through the community. The photo is mounted on black archival paper with the original detached news caption and measures approximately 8⅜ x 8 inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Please see photos.
