Description

Photograph of a worker emptying oranges from a special picking sack, ca.1925. A man in overalls, a lightly-colored shirt and a wide hat leans over a crate of oranges in the soil as he empties a bag which hangs from his neck. Dark rows of orange groves surround the thin lane of clear soil which he stands in. The groves continue into the distance. Photoprint reads "Orange Picking: In emptying a picking sack used in gathering citrus fruit, a flap at the bottom is unbuttoned and the sack carefully lifted from around the fruit to avoid dumping and bruising".
