Description
Photograph of people picking pears on E.P. Moulten's pear ranch, half a mile northeast of Palmdale, in August 1929. Two people stand on ladders and pick pears from trees, while two others on the ground work to fill boxes with fruit. In the foreground, at left, a man in a hat stands atop a ladder, his hands buried in the tree's leaves. Farther back, at right, the other three situate themselves around another tree. The pear trees stand in neat rows, stretching into the background.
