Description
Photograph of the interior view of an observatory showing astronomers on tour, ca.1920-1930. Five men stand in a row at the center of the image. The man to the far right appears to be leading the tour, and seems to be waving his left hand to showcase the astronomical instruments that are situated in the foreground of the picure. The astronomical apparatus is a large mix of complex metal components. In the background, a man to the far right looks on past the tour-leader's shoulder as the other men stand in attention.
