Description
Photograph of an officer directing traffic in an intersection, [s.d.]. A man wearing a uniform and round helmet or hat can be seen standing on top of a short, wooden box near the edge of a crosswalk. He is facing right and looking towards his right with his arms outstretched to either side of him. His uniform consists of pants, a button-up jacket with a high neck, and gloves. Three automobiles can be seen behind him on the road, while a stoplight is visible at left near the sidewalk. Buildings line the road and can be seen behind the automobiles. A sign on top of a two-story building at right reads, "[...] State Bank". Negative sleeve reads, "Early traffic".
