The matte has much edge wear, including missing pieces, tears, darkening, and other damage and there are two large, severe creases that enter into the photo at the left, so the condition is fair.

title: "16745 Picking Olives", stereoview, circa 1910s

In the foreground is a stack of olive-filled crates, another crafte on the ground and an overturned bucket. In the distance, behind the large orchard, are mountains. It is assumed this is at the orchard of the olive company at Sylmar, but text on the reverse for an educational geography unit, while discussing broadly about olive cultivation, does not indicate the location. With very little soiling or rubbing, the condition is good.
