Theodore Roszak

Study for Vertical Construction
1940

A detailed sketch on graph paper featuring a variety of mechanical parts and engineering drawings, including gears, levers, and complex assemblies. Some sections are highlighted with blue and green shading, and handwritten notes suggest it's a study for a vertical construction. The paper shows signs of wear with creases and stains, adding to the authenticity of a working document.
