Condición: Good. Hiroshima Oct 1,1949. Published by Hiroshima Peace Society. Octavo, 24 original photographs (ranging in size from 2 inches square to 4x2 inches) mounted in accordion-style album with English text, red ribbon-bound wraps album. Very interesting photos: one page shows a street before, immediately after the bomb and 3 years later. Photographs are exceptionally strong images. Good, wraps frayed and moderately worn but binding secure. Scarce.

Jeppson, Morris. Inscribed photograph of Hiroshima following the atomic bombing, provides a first-person technical account of the in-flight arming procedure for the weapon deployed on August 6, 1945. As weapons officer aboard the Enola Gay, Morris Jeppson was responsible for ensuring the bomb's operational readiness, and his inscription records the precise moment he armed the device prior to release. The document contributes direct evidence to the operational history of nuclear warfare by describing the mechanical steps required to enable detonation, linking the destruction of Hiroshima to the technical actions performed within the aircraft during the mission. Jeppson, Morris. Hiroshima devastation photograph. United States, post-1945. Black-and-white photograph measuring approximately 11 x 8.5 inches, inscribed in ink by Morris Jeppson. The inscription reads: "Before the Enola Gay B29 moved to bombing altitude I climbed into the bomb bay and replaced an electrical component (plug) in the bomb with a red coded plug that armed the bomb, so that it would detonate when it reached an elevation above ground of about 1800 feet - while traveling at the speed of sound - about 1000 feet per second. Morris Jeppson - Weapon Test Officer - Enola Gay Mission - Hiroshima 6 Aug. 1945." The text provides a detailed explanation of the arming mechanism, including altitude-based detonation and the physical act of replacing the safety component with an active trigger system. This inscription situates the photograph within the technical and procedural framework of the atomic bombing, documenting how nuclear weapons required manual intervention and verification during flight. Jeppson's account reflects the integration of engineering design and human execution central to the deployment of atomic weapons at the close of World War II. The combination of a destruction image with a participant's technical explanation offers a layered primary source for the study of nuclear technology, military operations, and the human roles embedded within systems of unprecedented destructive capacity. Light handling wear; photograph remains clean with strong, legible inscription. Overall very good. Signed.

Jeppson, Morris. Inscribed photograph of the Hiroshima Atomic Dome following the atomic bombing, provides a quantified assessment of destruction written by the weapons officer responsible for arming the bomb aboard the Enola Gay on August 6, 1945. As the individual who physically armed the device prior to release, Morris Jeppson links technical execution of the mission with retrospective evaluation of its effects. His inscription records measured estimates of blast radius, fire spread, and infrastructure damage, contributing to the historical record of how participants in the bombing articulated its scale and consequences in numerical terms. Jeppson, Morris. Hiroshima Atomic Dome photograph. United States, post-1945. Black-and-white photograph measuring approximately 9 x 8.5 inches, inscribed in ink by Morris Jeppson. The inscription reads: "The radius of destruction of Hiroshima was about 1.6 km, with resulting fires across 11.4 square km. Infrastructure damage was estimated at 90% of Hiroshima's buildings either damaged or completely destroyed. Morris Jeppson - Weapon Test Officer - Enola Gay Mission - Hiroshima 6 Aug. 1945." The image depicts the Atomic Dome, one of the few surviving structures near the hypocenter, paired with Jeppson's statistical summary of destruction, integrating visual evidence with numerical interpretation. The Hiroshima bombing introduced a new scale of urban destruction defined by nuclear technology, with immediate and long-term consequences for civilian populations and infrastructure. Jeppson's inscription reflects how participants in the mission communicated its impact through measurable data, aligning with postwar efforts to document and understand the physical effects of atomic weapons. The combination of a landmark image of the Atomic Dome with a participant-authored damage assessment offers a primary source for the study of nuclear warfare, urban devastation, and the translation of technological force into quantifiable outcomes. Light handling wear; photograph remains clean with strong, legible inscription. Overall very good. Signed.
