Photograph of a monk working at an anvil in a blacksmith shop in Mission Santa Barbara, 1898. At center, a monk wearing a cassock and sandals can be seen. In his right hand he grips a hammer, and he steadies a piece of metal against an anvil with his left hand. To his right, the forge used to heat the metal can be seen. Small clouds of smoke collect at the pipe above the forge. Behind the monk, various items ranging from barrels to machinery can be seen scattered around the shed.
