Description
Photograph of an incubator on an alligator farm (possibly the California Alligator Farm, Los Angeles), ca.1900. At center is a wooden dresser on which the words are written "Made Especially for [Incubating] Alligator Eggs". A single drawer is out, displaying both eggs and baby alligators. On top of the incubator sits a large alligator-skin bag, capable of holding at least several dozen of the infants.
