The 20 month old son of noted aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped on March 1, 1932 and found dead May 12, 1932. Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested for the crime and had a trial lasting from Jan. 2 to Feb. 3, 1935. He was put to death April 3, 1936. Around age four Maurice Sendak became aware of the kidnapping, including seeing front page photo of first edition of “Daily News” w/baby’s remains, leading to a lifelong concern over children’s vulnerability and fascination w/the Lindbergh case. Sendak's worry as a young child that he too might be kidnapped, manifested itself in his book "Outside Over There" published in 1981 telling the story of a young girl who rescues her baby sister who has been stolen by goblins. This lot consists of 26 glossy photos ranging in size from 6.5x8.5” to 8x10” used in the publishing of “Scapegoat The Lonesome Death Of Bruno Richard Hauptmann” by Anthony Scaduto published in 1974.
