Description
Photograph of people in an automobile camp in Elysian Park, ca.1930. Below the center, a woman and a man, that seem to be conversing, are viewable to the left of a row of parked automobiles and tents which extend towards the far background. Another row is partially visible on the left, on a less elevated area. In the far right, a cabin is observable and a few more are seen towards the background. The people and objects are all visible under trees.
A sign on a tree can be seen on the right which reads: "DOGS MUST BE KEPT ON LEASH". A hillside is visible in the backdrop.
