Description

Photograph of Robert Goddard "dusting off hat laid on shop bench in June 1932, with hope of resuming work, some day. His dream realized September 1934" (annotation by Esther Goddard). Goddard's first grant-funded Roswell stay took place between 1930 and 1932, and he did not know if he'd get the opportunity to return and continue his research. Two years later he was back in Roswell with more funding from the Guggenheim Foundation. He and Esther's time in Roswell would last significantly longer this time -- from 1934 to 1942.

'The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record' is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard's work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband's passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.

Photographs were scanned at 400dpi.
