Description

Photograph of adobe brick makers at work, 1900-1909. At center, a man wearing overalls and a bandanna around his head can be seen hunched near a large clay brick. Clay covers the man's hands as he spreads them across the surface of the brick. Additional lines of bricks can be seen in the foreground. To the right of the man, a small bucket is visible. Behind the hunched over worker, another man holding a small wheelbarrow is visible. This man also wears overalls and faces the camera. In the extreme background, lines of trees can be seen.
