This image so intrigued me, I felt compelled to do a little research on it. I learned it was taken in July, temperature soaring at 105 degrees and the men wearing woolen suits, causing many to pass out from the heat. imagine their thoughts as they patiently waited for this shot to finally be completed.

I wish this image was available as a print to purchase. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the info on the history of the photo. I wondered about it myself.
