They stand a few paces left from three other females, including one who appears to be holding out a jacket, and a younger girl who looks directly at the camera. The plaque reads: "On March 16, 1774, Juan Bautista De Anza, Indian fighter, explorer, and colonizer, led through this pass (named by him San Carlos) the first white explorers to cross the mountains into California. The party traveled from Tubac, Arizona, to Monterey, California. On December 27, 1775, on a second expedition into California, Anza led through this pass the party of Spaniards from Sonora who became the founders of San Francisco. Tablet placed by Historic Landmarks Committee, Native Sons of the Golden West. 1924."

Will Connell (1898-1961) was a self-taught photographer. He opened a studio in downtown Los Angeles in 1925 and became a member of the Camera Pictorialists. He taught at Art Center College in Pasadena from 1931 until his death. His work includes movie publicity shots, magazine assignments and other commercial photography.
