Description
Photograph of citrus fruit pickers loading boxes, showing snow-capped mountains in the distance, ca.1900. A palm tree stands in the right foreground while rows of citrus trees stand at left. Three men in hats can be seen picking oranges from the trees and placing them in sacks that hang over their shoulders. The bags are emptied into wooden crates that sit on the soil. Jagged, snow-capped mountains stand across the distance.
