This is a monochromatic image or possibly a photo negative depicting a memorial plaque mounted on a large stone. The plaque is dedicated to Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard, commemorating his contributions to the science of rocket propulsion. It states that Dr. Goddard used this location from 1930 to 1942 for launching liquid propellant rockets, aiming to develop technology for exploring extreme altitudes.

The surrounding environment includes vegetation, including some bushes or small trees on either side of the stone. In the background, there is a partially visible structure with scaffolding or framework, which may be relevant to the context of the memorial, possibly tied to the rocket launch site. The edges of the image frame are slightly irregular.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a black and white photograph of a stone monument dedicated to Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard. The monument is set outdoors, surrounded by shrubbery, and with a building and tower structure visible in the background.

Details:

  • Monument: The monument is a large, roughly hewn stone. A bronze plaque is mounted on the face of the stone, inscribed with a dedication. The inscription reads:

    "THIS TABLET IS ERECTED
    IN MEMORY OF
    DR. ROBERT HUTCHINGS CODDARD
    WHO HERE LAID THE FOUNDATIONS
    FOR THE SCIENCE OF ROCKET
    PROPULSION. HE USED THIS TOWER
    FROM 1930 TO 1942 FOR LAUNCHING
    LIQUID PROFELLANT ROCKETS
    TO DEVELOP A MEANS FOR EXPLORING
    EXTREME ALTITUDES"

  • Surroundings: The monument is situated on a flat base, which appears to be made of concrete or a similar material. The base extends out slightly from the stone. Green shrubbery surrounds the base of the monument.

  • Background: In the background, there is a tall, open-lattice tower structure. It is the tower mentioned in the inscription. Adjacent to the tower is a building with windows. The building appears to be a more modern structure than the tower.

  • Quality: The photograph appears to be from an older film negative, as there are slight scratches and imperfections on the image.
