Two original circa 1889 mounted photographs by A. A. Forbes depicting the moment the Oklahoma land rush began, each approximately 7.5 x 4, labeled within the original negatives, “No. 149, The Start” and “No. 150, The Start.” The first shows would-be settlers awaiting the land run, which commenced at high noon on April 22, 1889, and the second image shows them within moments of taking off. In overall fine condition.
