View of an old cannon under a tree, with a wagon next to it. Identified as being on a ranch of the Sepulveda family, on the Rancho de los Palos Verdes (present-day Palos Verdes Peninsula and parts of San Pedro and Torrance, California). Title transcribed from negative. Date range approximated by cataloger based on the year that film negatives came into use and the latest known dates indicated for other Hazard images in the Huntington's collection. Condition note: White "flaring" seen on the edge of this digital image is present in the original negative. A related print of this image appears in the Huntington Library's Verne Dyson Collection (mssHM 26404) p. 164 (Box 3) with the caption: "Los Palos Verdes. Rancho scenes." Other images marked "Sepulveda Ranch" were determined to be the ranch of Diego Sepulveda in San Pedro. It is not clear if this image is part of the same property or a reference to other Sepulveda family land.
