Description
Photograph of workers in an olive grove, Los Angeles, ca.1900. A man, standing halfway up a ladder, hacks away at the olive branches with a stick. Another man (at right), holding a stick, appears to be shoving the stick into the trees (or against the branches) in order to make the olives fall to the blanket covering the floor beneath the tree. The tree is about 25 feet tall. Other trees are visible in the background.
