Negative, Film

Monochromatic negative of a room full of graphic artists at work in the Chevrolet Art and Chart department in the G.A. Richards Oakland Company Service Department for Oaklands and Pontiacs Building at 440 Burroughs Street. Two men stand at a row of tables covered with art supplies and small illustrations, as a woman on the left side of the table dips a brush in a can of paint. Behind her another woman works on an upright sign which reads, "3. A Dealer Who Needs to Employ a Paid New Car Sales Manager in 1941." above the stylized image of a microscope and a graph. To the left of this sign, in the foreground, a man works on an image of a crossbow. "49320-1," is handwritten in the margin of the negative.
