Description
Photograph of a worker picking oranges with a special picking sack, ca.1925. The worker leans over two wooden crates as he gently fills them with oranges from the long, lightly-colored sack that hangs from his neck. He shoulders are shaded by his wide hat and his shoes are scuffed by the sand that blankets the ground around him. A ladder behind him on the right leans against the dark orange groves while a cluster of oranges weigh down a branch in the foreground on the right.
