Survey stakes set against a bare white wall make an odd subject for a film gallery, and that tension is what makes this sepia image stand out from other pictures on the board. The numbered stakes, planted in a row, suggest a site being measured and mapped before anything gets built, a routine step that rarely gets photographed. Its placement under Moving Pictures hints that the scene may have been staged or captured on a film set, where surveyors' marks were sometimes used to block out camera positions and sets. Look closely at the stakes' spacing and the wall's texture for clues about the place.
