Description

A landscape-oriented, black-and-white photographic print with a slim white border, historically glued onto a larger backing sheet of heavy black construction paper likely from a vintage scrapbook album. The photograph features eight men in a workspace: five men are clustered around a large sorting table on the left half of the image, while a sixth man stands slightly behind them holding an open stave basket of apples. On the right half of the photograph, two men are positioned behind large wooden apple shipping barrels spread across the floor. Directly beneath the photograph on the black construction paper backing is the historical label, "Apple-packers. 1914.", handwritten in white pencil.
