General Assembly Hall at United Nations Headquarters
A view of the General Assembly Hall at United Nations Headquarters in New York, showing the Presidential (light-colored) and speakers' (dark-colored) rostrums in the background, and rows of circular discs on which the coats-of-arms of Member Nations are to be inscribed. In the foreground are delegates' desks, lighted by inlaid fluorescent lamps mounted directly on the desks and presenting a striking contrast of light and shadow, in which desks and the backs of chairs stand out in clear-cut relief.
