Photo of
Manfred von Richthofen
The Famed Red Baron
Perfect for Framing
Enlarged, reproduced photo of Manfred von Richthofen (the famed RedBaron). The image was taken from Sanketype NPG card # 6255 (from mycollection). This unique photo of him wassuperimposed in front of a crashed aircraft (an early attempt of photo-shopping).The same crashed aircraft scene was alsoused on the Boelcke NPG # 5601 postcard commemorating his 4oth victory. Ironically the actual aircraft was a BE.2cwhich wasn’t shot down by either of them but by Ernst von Althaus as his7th confirmed victory.
I have enlarged the image, removed all the writing and cleaned itup. It is now over 4 times the size ofthe original postcard while still retaining a clean, crisp image. Matted and putinto a standard 9 X 13 picture frame it would be a handsome addition to any WWIcollection.
