Lot Description
[GERMAN BATTLESHIP BISMARCK]. An archive of photographs and postcards relating to the British hunt for the German battleship Bismarck, ca. 1940s.

Each 5 ½ x 3 ¼ in. gelatin silver prints. Most with handwritten descriptions verso, many with stamps verso reading “Suitable for transmission through post, not publication.” Provenance: Acquired Max Rambod, Inc. 

20 postcards and postcard-sized photographs, all relating to the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck. Most images taken aboard the HMS Victorious. The Victorious played a key role in the final destruction of the Bismarck, as many of the Swordfishes which would eventually locate the German battleship were launched from her decks.
