One view on translucent mylar has building outlines and label lines in manuscript in ink, building and wharf labels printed on adhesive film, buildings filled with adhesive gradient films, and a strip of white paper taped on the verso below the buildings. A second view on translucent mylar has building outlines in manuscript in ink, buildings and wharf labels printed on adhesive film, and buildings filled with adhesive gradient films. The third view on paper is a photocopy of the second view. The fourth view on paper has manuscript corrections that become the first view. The fifth view on paper is the same as the first view.",
