Item — Box: Oversize 2, Folder: 8
Call Number: MSS 7, Series II
Scope and Contents
Machinery of the crane in the center of the image. Shows the large set of wheels that turn in order to control the poseable neck of the crane. In the bottom right corner, Leighton has noted "Mr. Thad Perrow, Florence, Vermont". Leighton conducted almost all her reseach by word of mouth, and was able to observe the industries she depicted by asking locally after people who were engaged in them. Mr. Perrow was likely the foreman or official at a marble quarry visited by Leighton.
