Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Mertie West posing in the middle of a cabbage patch in Circle Hot Springs, Alaska. A clump of large cabbages grows in the foreground at center and extends back on an angle to the right. Further back in the patch, Mertie West stands in the near distance. She faces towards the camera as she rests a hand to her hip and casts her gaze down to the ground at left. The rest of the garden stretches behind her and into the distance.
