Description: Aerial photograph taken by Joe Munroe during a crop dusting in Lodi, California, 1962. With the development and spread of the airplane, farmers could cover more ground when spraying insecticides and herbicides on their vast crops. Wide scale use, however, led to chemicals showing up outside of the field, and environmentalists cautioned the overuse of these types of crop treatments. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work.

Description: This shows the front and side facades of the Tuscarawas County Courthouse. The structure was built from 1882 to 1884, during a time of prosperity, when many counties were constructing ambitious courthouses, competing with one another for the best building. Roman arches, square and round columns and Doric and Corinthian capitals are incorporated into this structure. Originally there was a zinc-plated statue of three women that sat on top of the building's dome, but it was replaced by a cupola with a brass eagle in 1973 after the original statue began to deteriorate.
