Description
Photograph of a Department of Public Works employee operating a street sweeping vehicle, [s.d.]. At center, the man's face is obscured by the shadow of his porkpie hat as he steers the large street-sweeper tractor. Above the grille of the truck, a plaque reads "Austin manufactured in Chicago". The brushes of the sweeper abutt the curb of the street at left, where grass and trees can be seen. In the background, Spanish Colonial-style homes are inset slightly from the sidewalk.
