Student at University of Michigan Orchestra sign-up table, circa early 1950s.
Sign Maker at WorkIs this really a sign-up table for the orchestra, or is it a behind-the-scenes look at the art of hand-lettering?  He's hard at work making more block-letter signs.  
Good observation!Mattie,
I think you are right.  This photo was taken by my partner's father, a music student at the University of Michigan in the 1950s.  I have another slide of a student posting a sign promoting participation in the orchestra.
I find the light, colors and compositio of this photo quite lovely.
Cheers,
Andrew
