Photograph of the ruins of the Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana as seen from the hayfield, 1887. Portions of wrecked adobe wall and hayfield filled with piles of hay stand in the foreground, while the crumbling adobe buildings of the mission are visible along the horizon in the background. A long adobe stands roofless, its beams showing, at center, while a wider adobe to the left longhouse stands with holes in the roof that still remains. A small hut-like adobe stands between them, next to which the remains of an all but demolished adobe stand, the walls having collapsed. Long grass is also visible in the foreground.
