Description
Photograph of a man leading an alligator via leash at an alligator farm (possibly the California Alligator Farm, Los Angeles), ca.1900. The man stands several feet away from the alligator, keeping the leash taut. The man and alligator appear to be in a courtyard filled with small trees. In the background a walkway cuts the distance between the trees and the buildings behind them.
