- Lot Description
Lot includes 250+ snapshot photographs, most accompanied by original celluloid negatives, from the 1970 Ohio State University riots, April 15 to May 7, 1970, and 50+ from the demonstrations in Washington, DC, on May 9, 1970, in protest of the American incursion into Cambodia and the Kent State shootings. Almost all measure 5 x 3.5 in. The photographer is unknown, but the content suggests he or she was a student amateur photographer involved in both demonstrations.
The Ohio State riots were one of the largest student demonstrations of the Vietnam War era but were overshadowed by the contemporaneous demonstrations at Kent State, which resulted in the deaths of four students. Seven protesters were shot at Ohio State but all survived, and Ohio Governor James Rhodes took the unprecedented step of shutting down the campus for two weeks in the middle of the quarter.
Condition
Overall very fine condition, although most photos have slight curl to them. Few show light damage along margins.
