Original Airship Roma Photo
SKU: 22-ZEPP-2Vintage 5x7", sepia-tone of the Roma with a large crowd surrounding. Likely at her arrival in the U.S. About fair; looks like someone put the photo face down on a gravel road and ran over it. Surprisingly, the image is still quite nice but the price reflects this problem. A bargain, I think.
