Miss Florence Mast stands with child patients posing in their hospital beds while taking sun on a rooftop terrace at the Los Angeles County General Hospital. Several children look to camera as they sit up in their beds, which are arranged around the perimeter of the deck. A girl in front, at left, lies in her bed with cast on her leg. Behind the leftmost bed, Miss Mast stands. Two children share a wheelchair at center. Behind the group, wire fencing caps a low brick wall that extends around the perimeter of the terrace. Curtains hang down from rails that rise high above the fencing. The curtains at far left and far right are partially drawn.
