Description

Dr. Meshinger is standing in his office. He is wearing a white lab coat over his white shirt. His name may be seen painted on the glass of one of the windows at the rear of the room. A dental chair has been placed at the rear of the room, close to the window. A group photograph of men in suits and a framed poster of various images of human skulls and jaws hang from a wall behind the dentist. A chest of drawers may be seen next to a curtain that partially covers the entrance to another room where his female assistant is visible. The number “60” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” is written in the upper left corner.
