Admiral Chester Nimitz signed photo of the Japanese surrender aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, as he signs the document ending WWII while Admirals Sherman and Halsey, and General MacArthur look on. Nimitz signs next to his photo ''CW Nimitz / US Representative''. The photo identifies 22 key men and interestingly, Nimitz adds three that were forgotten and not formally identified. He numbers their images as 23, 24 and 25, and writes along the photographic border: ''23 Gen [Joseph] Stilwell, 24 Gen [Walter] Krueger - 25 R Adm [John] Shafroth''. Black and white matte photo measures 7.5'' x 5.75''. Some liquid discoloration and mounting to board, overall very good condition.
