Description
Photograph of women frying fish in a campground cooking area, ca.1930. In the center, a woman can be seen holding a metal spatula while apparently flipping over a small fish. The fish are lying in a row on a stove next to the woman. The stove is located on a counter constructed out of brick and concrete. A second woman can be seen to the left holding up a fish hooked on a fork who seems to be placing it on a wooden board. Another concrete counter is visible behind her which seems to have a sink. The women are standing under a roofed open-air cooking area. Trees, vegetation, and cabins are visible downhill in the background.
