Bernacular snapshot photograph showing a large-scale disaster cleanup scene with smoking debris piles being burned in an open field. Workers, utility poles, and wreckage appear throughout the background.
The reverse side features a pencil notation reading: "This is where they are cleaning up."The handwriting on the back matches identical handwriting from a verified group of photos depicting the 1913 Indianapolis Great Flood, including scenes of the flooded Washington Street and the West Washington Street bridge collapse. Due to this provenance, this photo likely depicts the localized cleanup following the 1913 disaster.
Condition: Original vintage with age-related wear including surface marks, spotting, edge and corner wear, and discoloration from storage. Please examine the listing photos carefully for exact condition details.
