Description
Photograph of flood damage to Warner Brothers Studio, showing the water at right, 1938. Debris spills over the damaged bank and into the water that flows at right. Automobiles sit parked on the land above where men clean up the fallen building at center. The rest of the studio buildings stand in tact at left. A cylindrical device, darkened as if charred, stands over the buildings in the center background. Trees stand on the far bank in the right background. Mountains can be seen faintly in the left distance.
