Description
Photograph of a view of a diorama of prehistoric animals, possibly in the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, [s.d.]. A diorama of four mammoths in an otherwise uninhabited landscape fills the majority of the image. Two large mammoths stand in profile, facing each other, on either side of a small pond or tar pit. Another mammoth stands behind the pond, facing the viewer, while the fourth and youngest mammoth pulls itself from the pond with the help of the rightmost mammoth's trunk. Trees and vegetation sit in the foreground of the diorama, while the background landscape appears to be low grass with hills visible in the distance. Three spectators stand on the checkered floor, facing the diorama, and separated from it by a railing.
