Cabinet Photos of Aeronaut Frank Zelno and Jessie Zelns.
Omaha, NE. Ephemera. Item #34728
Two cabinet photos by the Hughes & Sandberg studio of Omaha, Nebraska. The studio was active with this name between 1893 and 1896. Measure 11 x 16.5 cm. One is of famous early aeronaut and balloonist Frank Zelno who died performing one of his many daring stunts on October 14th, 1916, in Cameron, Texas. The second photo is of a female named Jessie Zelns. There does not appear to be much information about her but the image depicts her in a simple dress with a background of a balloonist and a parachuter suggesting she too was a performer. Their names are inscribed on the original plates. Handwriting on the back of both photos reads: "At Courtland Beach / Omaha, Nebr". In very good condition.
