Description
Photorgrahic group portrait of workers in a cantaloupe packing shed near El Centro, ca.1910. A group of men stands at the center of the image, facing the camera, inside a shed with a wooden ceiling and floor. Some of the men toward the right of the group lean on a stack of wooden crates of cantaloupes. In the left background, a man drives a team of horses that pull a load of cantaloupe crates through a lane that passes through the left side of the shed.
