这是一张拍摄于约1930年洛杉矶广告牌搭建现场的照片。一名身着深色西装的主管立于广告牌深色框架的下沿，其身旁两侧各有一名身着工装的工人正在作业。另有一名手持铁锤的工人站在广告牌中央顶部，该工人左侧下方设有一块印有"Foster and Kleiser"字样的小型标牌，右侧则另有两名工人位于广告牌框架下方。广告牌后方可见一栋建筑，建筑前方排布着一排电力线路。搭建场地的地面被高草与施工物料覆盖。本次搭建的是尺寸为8英尺×24英尺的广告牌框架，带有格栅式围边。最终成品将配有白色边框，结构下边框的中央将安装该广告牌所有者与承租方的名牌。照片中共记录了五名工人搭建广告牌的过程，该主管则在场监工。本照片未展示的广告牌板面，通常会在总办事处完成涂装后，运抵现场进行安装。
