Description
Photograph of aerial view of unidentified factory and surrounding city, ca.1930. Near the bottom of the image, a large factory area is visible stretching from the left of the image to the far right. On the far left, cars sit near two buildings with sharply angled roofs. On the side of these buildings, three large smokestacks are visible. A visible stream of smoke is being emitted from two of the smokestacks. At the center of the factory area, an elevated road is seen moving to the right. Several more buildings and smokestacks are seen to the right and in the near background. On the far right, a large water tower stands erect. In the far background, a large city is visible.
