Details:

Frank Sturgis personal photograph archive comprising 39 original period photographs, ranging in size from approximately 4 x 6 inches and smaller, spanning the early 1950s and 1960s through later images of Sturgis likely dating to the 1980s. The group includes candid field images, informal portraits, and documentary-style photographs reflecting Sturgis’s activities, associates, and environments during his years as a soldier of fortune and political operative.

Of particular note is one photograph measuring approximately 4.5 x 3.25 inches, a first-generation, double-weight silver gelatin print, depicting a blurred male figure seated inside what appears to be a vehicle. The individual bears a remarkable resemblance to Lee Harvey Oswald. The presence of this photograph within the archive is notable given Sturgis’s documented associations and historical orbit; the context surrounding its inclusion is information likely lost to history, yet it nonetheless adds a compelling layer of historical intrigue worthy of more research.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, firsthand photographic grouping tied directly to one of the most controversial figures of Cold War–era American history.

Fine condition overall.

Frank Sturgis (1924–1993) was a Cuban-American operative, soldier of fortune, and political activist best known for his role in the Watergate burglary, where he was one of the five men arrested inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in June 1972. Beyond Watergate, Sturgis has long occupied a controversial place in American history due to his associations with anti-Castro operations, intelligence circles, and his later implication—though never proven—in various theories surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
