- Lot Description
Snapshots and Newspapers of the Hartford Circus Fire, 1944. Research collection of 23 snapshots and a stack of approximately 20 newspapers and clippings depicting and reporting on the deadly circus fire and its aftermath. Eight of the snapshots are printed on Velox paper (3 ? x 4 ??), ten on Kodak paper (7 x 5? sheets, images 4 ? x 4 1/8?), and five are contemporary reprints. Newspapers include two different Friday, July 7 editions of the Hartford Courant in which the news breaks, as well as the Saturday issue; the Friday issue of the New Haven Evening Register; and accounts in other newspapers. Accompanying the lot is a 1967 letter to Al Halpern from Thomas C. Barber, a detective on the Hartford Police Department, regarding one of the victims, the long-unidentified girl known as Little Miss 1565 who died in the fire, whose grave Barber regularly visited for the rest of his life.
