Three men tend a barbecue pit at the Sheriff's Relief Association barbecue, Los Angeles, 1934
- Description:
- A barbecue pit enters frame from the lower left corner and stretches back on an angle towards center. Its sides are wood-lined. A metal rail along the pit's mid-line hovers over the pit. Wrapped chunks of meat sit in a pile at the bottom of the far end of the pit. Atop the far end of the pit, 2 men stand on a pallet that sits over the pit. The man at center is dressed in white and looks down as he spears a piece of meat that sits on the pallet. A cook stands to the right of him and gazes down towards the pit. Another cook behind and to the left of the man at center looks to the camera while shovelling dirt. In the background at right, a pile of pallets sit on the ground and a lattice fence lines the park's back edge. A building stands beyond the fence and in partial view at left.
