Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of: Frances Cline, Elizabeth West and Frances West entering the Big Tujunga Creek. Frances Cline leads the way as she hikes up her plaid-printed dress and walks into the creek. She is wearing a white hat. Elizabeth West steps into the creek behind her and also holds up her skirt. Behind Elizabeth West, Frances West crouches over on the bank to remove her shoes and socks. Both West girls wear dark-colored skirts and white blouses. Shoes and a rectangular container are strewn across the bank near Frances West. A large boulder in the creek sits behind Frances Cline on the left. Large rocks are scattered along the creek in the background. Frances Cline, Elizabeth West and Frances West were about 8, 9 and 6 years old, respectively, in 1912.
