Description
Photograph of sludge in an unidentified swollen flood ditch, 1938. In the foreground, two trees that stand on a hilltop frame the scene beyond mude and water make the flood of a wide dirt ditch, its banks eroded to either side. In the distance, a bridge can be seen, beyond which, the silhouette of a mountain can be seen. Photoprint reads: "Photo by Ed. Estabrook. Universal Pictures". According to an archive patron, this is a view of Los Angeles River looking west, showing Stage 27 in Universal Studio at left.
