Description

Photograph of two children riding two large fish in the water off Santa Catalina Island, [s.d.]. The little girl in the foreground is wearing a plaid dress and a lace bonnet as she clings to the rein of cloth which runs around the top jaw of the tuna(?) which she is riding. The little boy, older than the little girl, sits on a larger wide-mouth fish behind her clinging to his rein of rope which is threaded across the hinge of the fish's jaw. The boy wears dark shorts, a print shirt, and a straw hat. Both fish ride very high in the water. Two rock formations protrude from the water in the background at left. Several small sailboats are visible in the background at center and right.
