Drying Drums in Paper Mill
c. 1930–1935

A black and white photograph mounted on a beige mat board, depicting an upward view of a building's industrial features, including large cylindrical structures and a metal staircase. The image has a dynamic composition with strong lines and contrasts, emphasizing the architectural details. There is handwriting at the bottom of the mat board, likely indicating the title of the work and the photographer's signature.
