This high-angle, close-up photograph captures a Local Improvement Debenture document issued by the City of Calgary, dated May 14, 1924. The document, possibly a lithography stone, features detailed financial text, including specific dates such as 'First day of January 1924' and 'Second day of June 1944,' and mentions 'The City of Calgary' and the 'Minister of Municipal Affairs.' Spaces for official signatures, including 'Mayor,' 'Clerk,' and 'Chairman,' are visible. The document exhibits significant wear, including numerous scratches and chipped edges, particularly along its bottom, indicating its age and historical use. This image is part of David Christensen's 'Plattenkalk' series, created in 2026.
