Description
Photograph of a road in Burbank following a flood, 1928. A car sits in a street covered in mud to the left while a tall metal fence behind it is misshapen from the water. Tire tracks can be seen running through the mud from the foreground to the background where the road curves to the right. Two people are visible in the right background next to a solitary tree. Houses can be seen in the distance while telephone wires extend over poles from the top right foreground to the center background.
