Description
Photograph of workers packing and washing lemons, ca.1925. A large, circular tub stands at center filled with water and a mechanical device in its center that apparently washes lemons. A worker on the right with curly hair and overalls empties a crate of lemons into the machine as the machine sends clean lemons onto a conveyer belt just to the right of him. The conveyer belt leads to a row of workers in the background on the far left who package the lemons into crates which are stacked behind the machine at center.
