Description
Photograph of women tortilla makers in Olvera Street, ca.1930. A woman to the right of center bends over a grinding stone with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. The woman wears a flower patterned top with a plain skirt under a waist apron while she pushes a stone over dough with both hands. A plate heaped with dough sits on the table next to her hands. A grill with tortillas can be seen behind her while women wearing lightly colored clothing manage the cooking of the food.
