Description
Photograph of workers packing celery in Playa Del Rey, 1925. Two lines of wooden crates stand in the soil as workers fill them with celery plants at center. Bare soil surrounds the crates and center and blankets the field to the right while short celery plants still stand in the field on the far left. A small building stands in the background on the left while electrical poles stand along the back of the field to the right.
