Description
English:

The best clue for locating the site of this photo is the shadowy building in the background, unmistakably the Sears Roebuck store. The seaplane is probably coming to the dock for fuel; its crew is poised on the front of the plane.

Handwritten on sleeve: Standard Oil Pacific Plane.
