Mayor Shaw, sitting on a horse-drawn plow, holds the reins in his hand. An unidentified man sits next to him and a crowd surrounds the path. Los Angeles City Hall can be seen in the background.
There are no dates on the negative or negative sleeve. A billboard advertising the film "Tarzan and His Mate" places the events in the photograph in 1934. This was likely taken during the Fort Moore hill excavation in April.
