NO TRICKS. Almost a century ago and without the use of today’s computer software, photographer Arthur Mole used his 11 x 14-inch view camera to stage a series of extraordinary mass photographic spectacles that choreographed living bodies into symbolic formations of religious and national community. The giant formations were composed of thousands of military troops and other groups, arranged artfully to form American patriotic symbols, emblems, and military insignia visible from a bird’s eye perspective. Amazing stuff.
