Cookman Collection #2

November 29, 1939

The partially enclosed cab of a shovel excavator occupies the immediate foreground of this image with its bucket arm swung to the right. The operator is apparent as he sits at the control levers in the cab. At left middle ground is a large muddy pond. Excavated soil is piled in a high berm sloping away from the pond across the image in middle ground with a thin line of forest visible in background. Thin snow covers undisturbed soil.
