  • Description
  • Viewed from below, a speaker stands behind a table with portable lectern and addresses a standing microphone weighted down with stones. Three men, one of them a minister, are seated on the platform behind him; all hold books. To the right, a woman sits at an organ. A shovel propped on the railing at left suggests the occasion is a groundbreaking ceremony.
