A large, black and white, landscape photographic print (glossy), featuring FIVE men posing beside a rig's kelly. The men are dressed in rig workers' attire, including work boots, denim and heavy-fabric pants, long-sleeved button-down shirts, and hard hats. The fourth man (second-from-right) is resting his right hand on a piece of equipment, and the fifth man (far-right) is leaning against the kelly. Behind them to the left is a wooden-sided doghouse. On the reverse is handwritten "1949" in the top-left corner.Collection
