Photographic portrait of John "Chicken George" Brinkley, native of Catalina Island, behind a house, ca.1885. Mr. Brinkley stands with his hands to his sides an his hat on, in front of some dying bushes. A tall, adobe house stands in the background behind him, partially obscured by trees. A tall hill is visible still further in the background, behind it. Mr. Brinkley had only been off of the island once in his lifetime, and worked for Shatto.
