Here the subject is the aviator Charles Augustus Lindbergh, whom the record dates as 1902 to 1974. A former airmail pilot from Minnesota, he became a national figure in May 1927, when he flew the *Spirit of St. Louis* solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. Portraits of him from the following year circulated widely in newspapers and magazines, and this one, catalogued with an approximate date of July 1928, belongs to that wave of celebrity imagery. The caption card data is unverified, so the exact occasion is not recorded.
