Workers in an olive grove, Los Angeles, ca.1900

Photograph of workers in an olive grove, Los Angeles, ca.1900. A man, standing halfway up a ladder, hacks away at the olive branches with a stick. Another man (at right), holding a stick, appears to be shoving the stick into the trees (or against the branches) in order to make the olives fall to the blanket covering the floor beneath the tree. The tree is about 25 feet tall. Other trees are visible in the background.

此为约1900年洛杉矶橄榄园工人劳作的老照片。画面中，一名男子站在梯子半腰处，持棍挥砍橄榄树枝；右侧另有一名持棍男子，似正将木棍抵向树枝（或插入树丛），以使橄榄掉落至树下铺就的帆布上。该橄榄树高约25英尺，背景中可见其他橄榄树。
