Study for U.S. Post Office Mural, Washington, D.C., S.S. President, Removing Mailbags from a Liner
c. 1935

A sketch on a piece of paper depicting a scene with several figures, possibly on a ship, with the text "SS. PRESIDENT moving mail bags from elevators" written below the drawing. The sketch is rough and appears to be a conceptual or preliminary drawing, with an arrow and the word "shute" indicating movement or direction on the left side of the paper.
