Large mounted albumen print showing an operator working the controls of a steam or hydraulic crane -- or rather a yard derrick -- in a quarry or construction site circa 1890. On mount about 11 x 8.5 inches (28x21 cm). Print size 9.5 x 7.5 inches (24x19 cm). Price: $95. ( Inventory# ie54h )
The large stone blocks on background (with numbered notations on ends) seem to indicate the derrick is working in a stone quarry, or perhaps at a construction site where the quarried stone is put to use.
