A large, upright cylindrical wooden wine tank dominates the center of this black-and-white historical photograph. The tank is constructed of numerous vertical wooden staves held together by a series of thick, dark horizontal metal hoops that wrap around its circumference. In front of the massive tank, a man stands in front of a small wooden barrel; he wears a dark workshirt, trousers, and a dark apron. To his left, a tall wooden ladder leans against the side of the tank, and to his right, a smaller bucket sits on the ground. The tank is situated within a cellar featuring a visible wooden support structure of beams and posts overhead. At the bottom of the photograph, printed text reads: "Largest Oak Tank, 80,000 gallons. S. Lachman's Cellar. California Wine Association." Below the image, a color calibration scale and a grayscale strip are visible.
