Description
Photograph of Franciscan priest standing under a sycamore tree at Mission Santa Barbara, ca.1898-1899. In the foreground at center, a wide dirt road can be seen extending into the extreme background at left. Standing on the road, a priest wearing a Franciscan habit is visible. Behind the priest at right, two very large sycamore trees can be seen. The trees stretch to the top of the image. A small sign can be seen on the trunk of one of the trees, and a wooden bench is also visible between the two trees. To the far right, a large stone wall can be seen stretching into the background at center. In the background, a small metal gate intersects with the stone wall. At the intersection, a large bell tower can be seen. Braches from the trees slightly obscures the bell tower.
