37 Hot Air Balloon 35mm Photo Slides Alice Springs 1989 Before the Tragic Crash:
$125.00

Found in the photographers estate. There are a total of seven boxes of these which were all found together & all having the same date for developing, looks like a long trip through Australia.
THIS Box is ALL Hot Air Balloons. I’m certain this is the Alice Springs Ballooning event where Australia had its worst ballooning tragedy in history, and what is still the third deadliest ballooning crash in world history. None of the wreckage is in this box. Just all very beautiful shots of so many gorgeous balloons waiting for you to reprint them!!
There was NO documentation with any of these, but in this set, I discovered a photo of a photographer. See my photos. Perhaps you know who the photographer could be, but he is not our photographer, George Fulmer, so I can’t be sure if George was at that event & took these photos or if these were simply unclaimed. I think they were just left there.
See my other listings for more slides from this trip, and 2 more full boxes of hot air ballooning slides!!
ONE OF A KIND & extracted from a MASSIVE photographer’s ESTATE in Clearwater Florida.
A COA from the estate will come with your purchase
George Fulmer. Photographer for the city of Clearwater for over half a century. Also a Navy enlisted photographer during WW2.
After cleaning out the residence & studio in 2014, we have been sorting through over 100,000 photographs for the last 10 years, and are finally offering some of the best ones up for sale individually.
We hope to Bring recognition to his life\'s work as well as to find homes for some parts of the history of an entire city as documented by the city photographer.
Parts of the collection are being held together by the estate for exhibition purposes in the future. Holding a piece from this collection will be rare. Much of the contents from the estate were taken by the historical society before we were asked to go inside.
The photographs we hold from this estate, include everything you would\'ve expected a city photographer to have been present for; from weddings, to new construction, aerial photographs, sporting events, school events, press photography, police, Jaycees, and a really nice, but VERY LIMITED collection of nude photographs, some possibly from a nudist camp that is still in operation here today. Even more limited, there were a handful of his war era photographs that we were able to save.
The photos that are being offered here, were well preserved, found inside the home and studio, in a cool, dry, cellar type setting.
George did a lot of work for the newspapers so you\'ll see things pertaining to Clearwater Florida, much of it from the early 1950s.
Being in the same location next to the Clearwater courthouse for over half a century, he was also entrusted with and gifted many photographs that go back to the late 1800s that were left behind and are currently in our collection. Some of those will be offered here as well.
