TOKYO ROSE TRIAL PHOTOS AND NEGATIVES A fine grouping of 28 original 5" x 4" negatives [shown here in positive] and four photographs developed there from, from the famous 1949 treason trial of Iva Toguri D'Aquino (1916-2006), charged with eight counts of treason for her propaganda broadcasts to Allied soldiers. The images show Toguri entering court, conferring with her attorneys, at the defense table, embracing a supporter, etc. Fine condition.
