Description
Photograph of a man using telescope in an observation room at the Marine Exchange, ca.1920-1929. In the middle, a well dressed, middle aged man peers into a large, light colored telescope that is propped up on a wooden tripod. The telescope faces a bright window. In the background, another man is visible - he is sitting at a desk and appears to be on the telephone. Behind his chair rests a large megaphone. Compares to CHS-36200.
