"237 (13723) Irrigating Endless Avenues of Orange Trees, Redlands, Calif.", lantern slide, circa 1910s

A lantern slide, "237 (13723) Irrigating Endless Avenues of Orange Trees, Redlands, Calif.," Keystone View Company, Meadville, Pennsylvania, USA, circa 1910s. The image shows a Latino farmworker standing next to a concrete irrigation ditch that runs along the right side of an aisle between rows of orange trees extending far into the distance. The accompanying card explains the process of growing and irrigating the trees and notes that the navel orange was introduced in 1870. With some wear to the mount of the slide and browning and creases to the card, the condition is good.
