Description:
Here is the front portion of the wrap-around color cover of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's 108th Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 December 1954. The photographer is not identified.

With a burst of skyrockets lending color to the scene, cameras atop a 150-foot tower recorded the historic flash ~ the largest night photograph ever taken."
