Description
Photograph of three people standing beside an automobile looking at burnt trees, June 11, 1923. The people and their small, lightly-colored dog stand in dark suits next to the automobile on the left where a dirt road winds through the hill of burnt trees. The large trees look skeletal with no leaves on the twisted branches. They provide little shade over the weed-spotted ground of dust below them. "Fire remnants on Rim of the World Drive after the fire of 1922, taken June 11, 1923".
