Description
Photograph of two women in Spanish dress pushing a shovel into the ground next to two men, [s.d.]. One woman is visible leaning against a building and can be seen holding the top of the shovel with her hands. She can be seen wearing a ruffled dress with a shawl across her shoulders. Her hair is wavy and short. A second, older woman can be seen crouched to the right of the first woman. She can be seen holding the shovel towards the bottom with her right hand. A lacy shawl is visible on her head, while a patterned shawl is visible around her shoulders. The shovel is visible being pushed into dirt in a planter enclosed by brick. Two men wearing suits can be seen standing at left in this planter. Both men hold their hats in their right hands at their sides, while the man at right can be seen holding on to a metal post in front of a window with his left hand. At least four women can be seen standing at right.
