A sepia toned image of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, March 2, 1932. Featuring a printed caption on verso reporting on the Lindbergh Baby kidnapping, with scattered docketing and press stamps also present. Exhibits uneven staining, handling marks, and surface creasing/indentations. Light edge wear throughout. Otherwise, good to fair condition. 1p, 9" x 6.75", encapsulated by PSA/DNA to an overall size of 9.75" x 13", receiving a designation of Type I.

The caption reads in part:

"Twenty-months-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh, son of the famous airman, and known to Americans as 'the nations most famous baby,' has been kidnapped. The baby was put to bed last night in the luxurious home of Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh... Two and a half hours later when the nurse returned to the nursery she found the cot empty. A note was found in the room demanding a ransom."

Anne Morrow and Charles Lindbergh first met on December 21, 1927, in Mexico City. Her father, Lindbergh's financial adviser at J. P. Morgan and Co., invited him to Mexico to advance relations between it and the United States. The couple were later married in a private ceremony on May 27, 1929, at the home of her parents in Englewood, New Jersey. That same year, Anne Lindbergh flew solo for the first time and in 1930 she became the first American woman to earn a first-class glider pilot's license. Subsequently throughout the 1930s, the couple explored and charted air routes between continents together, Charles as pilot and Anne as radio operator. The Lindberghs explored polar air routes from North America to Asia and Europe, and were the first to fly from Africa to South America.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
