The photo, likely from late 1938, shows the early stages of construction of the 200-inch telescope at Palomar Observatory. There are a lot of Palomar photos in the on-line archive and more, with some overlap here. They include some great photos from the construction era and a lot of commissioning photos as the 200-inch and the 48-inch telescopes came into service in the late 1940s.
