Both of these Carriers looked identical and were built in the 1920’s, with the Lexington sunk after being badly damaged in battle May of 1942, and the Saratoga surviving the war, only to be sunk during atomic bomb testing in July of 1946.. This is a print of a real photo that has been colorized, a very common practice to add realism to B&W photos, back in the day.. The frame is correct for the era and with old wavy glass, suggesting that both are original to the print, however the backing paper is a thick replacement type and not original.. Frame is in great shape, measures 19.5″ X 11.75″ and comes with old hanging wire on it’s rear, also correct for the period.. As always, feel free to message me with any questions you may hav e.
