Mr pynchon and the settling of springfield

of Umberto Romano in 1933. This is the first mural in the series, covering the history of the area from 1636 to 1936. In this particular mural, Romano's semi-abstract style is visible in the distorted human proportions and the confused sense of depth. The mural is a mosaic of images, rather than depicting a specific incident at a given time, representing different aspects of the Springfield plant.
