NotesThis beautiful aerial view of the Steelton Steel Mills is signed "SHEELER 1952", but the attribution is questionable as the signature, medium, and workmanship do not reflect Charles Sheeler's work. Sheeler did visit the steel mills in Pennsylvania for his iconic works for US Steel in Pittsburgh in 1952, but there is no record he visited Steelton.
