Orange Packing at Redlands

American 19th Century, Detroit Photographic Company

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an orange packing plant. The image shows an interior of an industrial space filled with wooden crates and boxes of oranges, some of which are open to reveal the fruit inside. The setting includes beams supporting the roof overhead, strings hanging from the ceiling, and various tools or equipment scattered throughout the space. Several crates have logos or labels on them, and there is a large platform on which oranges are being processed. The overall color tone is sepia with hints of colorization.
