Description
Photograph of a man picking papayas in Monrovia, 1939. To the left a man is visible from the side standing beside a tall, thin tree trunk with multiple papayas bunched together at the top. The man is visible wearing slacks and a collared shirt with rolled up sleeves. He is visible squinting and appears to be reaching up and about to pick a papaya off of the tree. Grass, rocks, and foilage including what appears to be bamboo shoots are visible throughout the background.
