An airship rests on the ground beside a large hangar, and the panoramic format stretches the scene wide enough to show how small the ship looks against its shed. Airships of this kind were moored and serviced in hangars like this one, which were often built on a scale that rivaled the vehicles they housed. Panoramic cameras were used in the early twentieth century to record such machines, and the wide frame gives a sense of the open field, the crew work, and the sheer size of the structures needed to keep a lighter-than-air craft under cover.
