Since Holbrook was being discussed recently, it reminded me of something. I
purchased this interesting and original photograph of Holbrook stones. The
owner of the photograph alleged that it was an original used to illustrate
one of the Ward-Coonley Meteorite catalogs, but I do not own any of them and
cannot verify this. The only Ward-Coonley catalog I can find online was
printed a decade before Holbrook fell, so this may not be true.

Does anyone recognize this photo? It appears that gravel was placed on a
white cloth and the stones set in place to illustrate a meteorite
strewnfield.

Additional info: the number 11466 was etched on the original negative. And
'1/10 Diam.' was physically typed on the photo itself. Judging by the scale
of other objects in the photo, I would guess the largest stone in this photo
is 4-6 inches wide.

Input is appreciated!
