Description
Photograph of a large crowd, mostly composed of men, standing around a piece of machinery in action at the Los Angeles Excavating Co., [s.d.]. A woman and two men stand on a platform before a piece of machinery, watching as a man tinkers with a portion of the machine, with his face obscured by smoke. A smoke stack appears behind the machine, while several cables connect to other portions of the device at left. In the foreground, a large group of men in hats looks on, while a building bearing the American flag on its roof appears at right.
