Men performing tree surgery, San Gabriel grapevine, ca.1935

Photograph of men performing tree surgery, San Gabriel grapevine, ca.1935. The wide tree stands at center with thick, twisted branches and pieces of wood holding it in place from either side. A man in overalls chops at the right side of the trunk with a shovel-like tool. A second man stands in a hole dug beneath the tree. He uses a pick and hammer to chisel at the surrounding earth. A building stands behind the tree in the background.本摄影作品记录了约1935年圣加布里埃尔葡萄藤（San Gabriel grapevine）的树木养护作业场景。画面中央矗立着一株枝干粗壮虬曲的高大乔木，两侧以木构件进行支撑固定。一名身着工装的男子正手持类铁锹工具，对树干右侧开展砍伐作业；另有一名男子立于树木下方的挖掘坑穴中，以镐与锤子凿挖修整周边泥土。背景中树木后方可见一栋建筑。
