 Post subject: And now for some Balto photos!
PostPosted: Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:01 pm 



Now that I've posted my Togo photos, here's a running set of Balto photos which I've uncovered. Some of these you've seen before...most of these were taken either after the Serum Run, at the very end of it, or during the U.S. tour (which was some months later)...

Image
One of the best-known images of Balto, and a great pose!

Image
Another posed shot...

Image
A shot of Balto (at right) and the team parked in front of the Nome post office on February 2nd, 1925...they day they arrived in Nome

Image
A RE-ENACTMENT, for the press, by the team of their arrival in town on February 2nd, 1925. The actual arrival took place before dawn that morning (approximately 5:30 A.M. local time)

Image
A shot of Gunnar Kaasen with Balto, in Nome right after the Serum Run (note: Kaasen is NOT strangling Balto! LOL! He's merely holding his head steady for the camera...)

Image
Another shot of Balto & Kaasen, this time a little more fun...

Image
Kaasen standing with Balto and the team, same photo shoot

Image
Balto and the team in Nome, just after the Serum Run (that's Fox, the second-in-command of the team, right behind Balto)

Image
Balto with Gunnar and Mrs. Kaasen on a steamboat, bound for Seattle, WA, for a tour of the U.S. (with most of the team).

Image
Balto posing in his very own suite in the posh Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California! He and Gunnar (and Gunnar's wife) were each given their own suites at the hotel on the expense of Hollywood producer Sol Lesser, who worked out an arrangement with Gunnar, while still in Seattle, to make a few short moving pictures featuring the team. The rest of the team stayed in a studio kennel while all this work went on.

Image
Balto (at left) appearing with some dogs (and unidentified people, though that's probably still Gunnar Kaasen on the left, with his arm around Balto) in the U.S. after the Serum Run.

Image
L-R: Fox, Gunnar Kaasen, Balto, unknown individual, unknown team member...in the U.S. after the Serum Run

Image
Balto posing for a plaque (and also the eventual statue which now stands in Central Park) for the famous animal sculptor Frederick G. Roth of Englewood, NJ...at his studio (on the rooftop, apparently)

Image
Another shot of Balto being posed (by Gunnar Kaasen) to have a look at Frederick Roth's plaque of him.

Image
Balto posing with some American children during the U.S. tour after the Serum Run

Image
A shot of Balto at the dedication of his statue, and the sled dog/musher monument in Central Park, New York City.

Image
(same, wider angle)

Image
Balto saying hello to another dog in a kennel during or after the U.S. tour...this could possibly have been after he and the team were rescued from the cruel dimestore museum owner, and brought back to Cleveland, Ohio.

Weeeeeeeell, it doesn't really take so long when you know where to look, and how to research it! LOL!

Sure. You can use them. I have no proprietary rights over any of these photos, so save away! =) As far as I know, these photos are in the public domain now anyway. And NO ONE (save many descendants of Leonhard Seppala himself) should claim any rights over them!

I'm really gratified to find someone else so interested in the real history behind the cartoon! Even if the cartoon was the catalyst, that's quite okay! Movies, TV shows (or specials...like documentaries), and cartoons about historical subjects (even if tweaked and played with by Hollywood) are often the starting point for those who become well-versed in real history. And that is a very good thing! Even a lousy movie like Pearl Harbor (which somehow managed to sandwich about fifteen minutes or so of the Battle of Pearl Harbor in between a ridiculous, melodramatic love story) can have that effect. And if such things have that effect, then I don't mind! 8)

His only known appearance in NJ was at George Roth's studio, to stand for the modeling of the sculpture of the statue which would come to stand in Central Park, in New York.
