Description
Photograph of a large airship being held down by men, perhaps at a military "balloon school" in Arcadia, ca.1915. Hovering several feet above the ground, the airship tilts toward the left slightly. Below it to the right, several people hold onto a rope connected to the ship, anchoring it. Behind the people are a series of barrack-like buildings. Beyond this, an arborous area can be seen, followed by the mountains in the distance.
