View of workers from the Detroit Department of Forestry removing a diseased poplar tree on tree-lined LaSalle Blvd. in Detroit. Houses are partially visible behind row of trees; barriers reading "Closed, men working" and "Street closed, Dept. of Parks and Recreation, danger falling trees, stop" in foreground. Clipping on back: "Stately poplars on LaSalle, long a pleasant sight for Detroiters, have been stricken by an incurable disease called 'canker fungus.' Tree after tree is being laid low by the City's Department of Forestry." Handwritten on back: "Det. City of Parks & Recreation. 10/25/48."
