"FUNDAMENTALS" is chalked on the street in front of the subjects.<br /> <br /> Photographs this large are very scarce on the marketplace this is the largest we have owned in the last 15 years. A fine addition to any surveying civil engineering Yale or Connecticut collection. Roger Sherman Studio unknown
