Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of Frances West, Ted McClellan and Elizabeth West hanging around the campsite near the base of a mountainside. Frances and Elizabeth stand at center and to the right of the back end of a vehicle. Frances stands closest to the car and looks down at something in her hands. Elizabeth stands to the right of Frances. She wears a bonnet and holds a fishing rod. Her other hand rests on her hip. A pot sits on the ground in front of her. The girls stand behind about 15 fish hanging from string. The string is attached to the car at left, is supported by a stick at center and continues out of the photograph at right. Ted McClellan stands behind and between the girls in the near distance. He leans against the driver's side of another car and looks downward. He wears a hat and holds a strap in his hands. A child (maybe Ted McClellan's son) stands to the left and behind Frances with his back to camera. Mountains rise in the background. A person's shadow enters the image at the bottom of the photograph on the left. A white blur cuts through the shadow. Text from negative sleeve: 358. Convict Creek, 1915. L to R: Frances West. Ted McClellan. Elizabeth West. 2 negatives.
