Description

In the lower right foreground of the photograph, a man is seated at a desk. He seems to be working with an adding machine that is visible on the desk. A second desk and another work area behind a tall partition are also visible. Coats may be seen hanging from pegs on the rear wall of the office. Glass partitions allow a view into a warehouse where stacks of boxes are visible. See KL 184-391 for another view of the boxes and warehouse area. The number “213” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.
