Lot 14: Photographic Print of Marconi Broadcasting on NBC

Vintage Photographic Print of Marconi Broadcasting on NBC during his last visit to the USA

The typed caption on the reverse indicated that this print was issued for news media use on the occasion of Marconi’s death: ‘Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, who died in Rome today, (Tuesday, July 20) ... is here shown during his last visit to the United States, as he spoke over NBC from his suite at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York.’ The print was later in the photo-archive of Culver Pictures, Inc., New York.
