Description

Black and white negative of a German field gun. The gun is on a concrete pad and has large wooden wheels. There is a shield, a barrel, and a tongue for towing. Some of the controls are visible. Behind the gun is grass, and a street with vehicles parked and buildings on the far side. There is what appears to be a billboard at the right side. There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "#2005 1/5/40".

Aperture 6.3 exposure 1/10s; distance 10 feet". Stamped is "2005" and "indexed".
