Packing-shed work is the detail that sets this picture apart: a woman is shown at the crate itself, placing oranges by hand, which was the labor that turned a grove's harvest into fruit ready for shipment. Sunkist was the marketing cooperative of California citrus growers, and its crate labels, with their bright lithographed artwork, became familiar across the country as a way of selling oranges and lemons under one trusted name. Packing was done largely by hand, and in the early twentieth century many of the workers were women, so the scene also records a working role that is easy to overlook behind the colorful labels.
