Three butchers prepare animal carcasses in the Los Angeles County General Hospital kitchen. One of the butchers stands at the butcher block table at left and prepares a shank. Behind him, another butcher begins to carve into one of the several animal carcasses hanging from hooks on an elevated track. The line of carcasses stretches across the image towards the right. The third butcher stands at right and holds his knives as he assesses the carcasses.
