A 4x5 transparency shows a carved wooden cross on a three-tiered cobblestone pedestal in front of a street vendor's stall full of baskets, tote bags, and other wares. A sign on top is partially obscured by a light fixture and appears to read El Sombrero No. 1 Olvera St. A darkhaired woman in a colorful blouse and red skirt stands next to the cross; she holds a flat round basket full of fruit. At the foot of the cross, three small girls and a small boy sit bunched together and looking at the camera. The boy wears a sombrero and an ornately trimmed matching jacket and trousers. Two of the girls wear long dresses; one dress has flounces. The third girl is wearing a sleeveless patterned dress and white lace-up shoes. All of the girls wear flowers in their hair. In the background on the left, a man in a jacket and hat looks on holding a newspaper under one arm. Handwritten on the envelope: Los Angeles, Ca, Olvera Street
