Description
Photograph of a baby playing with young alligators at an alligator farm (possibly the California Alligator Farm, Los Angeles), ca.1900. The baby sits next to a small manmade pool inside a chicken wire holding pen, grasping a young alligator in his hand. Surrounding the baby, several dozen young alligators can be seen of roughly one foot in length. Beside the manmade pool, two small plants are visible. Two large trees border the sides of the fence, and additional trees can be seen in the background.
