A large crowd of people lines up alongside picnic tables to receive plates of barbecue at the Sheriff's Relief Association barbecue in California Zoological Gardens. The scene is viewed from overhead. A service table enters frame from the lower left corner and stretches back on an angle to the right. On the right side of the table, a couple women stand with their backs to the camera as they serve plates of food to the picnic attendees. Plates are stacked on the left side of the long table and a crate of buns sits to the right of it. On the left side of the table, a woman in a gingham dress receives a plate of food in the foreground. Another woman to the right of her waits for a plate of food. The large crowd of people extends behind them, along the long line of tables and into the distance.
A different photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the article, "Army of men, women and children at benefit event: BARBECUE DRAWS THRONG sixty thousand assemble for annual festivities of sheriff's relief association," Los Angeles Times, 16 Jul. 1934: A1.
