DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by an unidentified Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. The image is underexposed; shadowy figures are visible but details are impossible to discern. Photographers would sometimes snap a photo of nothing in particular just to make sure that the film was advancing through the camera properly. It is not known whether this misfire was deliberate or accidental.
