THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 21, 1934
* Loch Ness monster
* The Surgeon's photo (famous) discussed
* 1st report
Certainly one of the more notable monster or creature searches in recent times is the Loch Ness Monster. Debate continues as to its existence.
The Surgeon's photo is surely the most famous piece of folklore regarding the Loch Ness monster. Although the photo does not appear in this issue, the description of the photo and details surrounding the taking of it - are very noteworthy.
I have found the first report of this photo being taken by British surgeon, Colonel Robert Wilson in this venerable newspaper title.
Page 9 has a two column headline that reads: "Surgeon Photographs Loch Ness Monster; Biologists Are Not Yet Able to Identify It"
A great report describing in detail of what Wilson did soon after the supposed sighting. This report is the real deal concerning the famous "Nessie"
It could be that the New York Times was one of the few, if not the only American paper to report this at the time.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Complete in 34 pages, light browning, minor margin wear, otherwise good condition.
