Description
Photograph of astronomers in an observatory who appear to be looking through the eyepiece of a telescope, ca.1920-1930. To the right of center one man peers through what seems to be the eyepiece of a telescope. Behind him stands another man who assists in looking through the lens. A third man is partially visible slightly to the left of the first two men. In the background an elevated walkway can be seen. This photograph is a cropped version of CHS-42375.
