Photograph of the ruins of Fort Tejon, showing a horse-drawn wagon, Los Angeles, ca.1895. A four-wheeled open-air wagon is parked at center, hitched to two horses. A man stands on the ground beside it looking off towards the right while the silhouettes of two other passengers are visible inside. A post-and-rail fence stretches from the left to the right side of the image, showing a small, lone-standing brick wall behind it to the left. A tree is visible in the background to the right, along with a large hill.
