Photograph of an interior view of the ruins of Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana, ca.1888. The sun is shining in through the rafters of the roof onto a group of about thirty finely-dressed people in the background. Debris fallen from the damaged stone walls litters the ground in the foreground. The group observes the damage from the back of the long corridor.
