Smithsonian Art Inventory"Male figure and eagle"
Watermelo-Kid.Com
"It is an interesting juxtaposition of a man, an eagle, railroad tracks, and the wheels of a locomotive. Its title has seemingly been lost to history, but because this portion of the building housed railroad exhibits in 1936, it is probably a safe bet that this fresco represents travel by rail."
