Description
Photograph of an automobile parked next to mining equipment at a mountain's edge, ca.1900. At center is a small wooden structure with rungs of wood planks rising above it. An automobile is parked in front of the structure and to the right, while a man is visible sitting in the driver's seat. Shrub-filled mountains are visible in the background, while stones and dirt are visible in the foreground. Part of the mountainside nearest the equipment appears to be either eroded or stripped.
