MYSTERY IMAGE: GATOR HUNT

 

 

 

(Source of picture: Florida State Archives)

 

 

This Jax mystery image dates from 1947.  An armed African American man poses with a dead gator, with four curious boys also in the picture. The usual questions apply: Who?  And where? 

 

 

Apparently, the St. Johns River appears in the background.  The photographer was Jack Spottswood, according to the Florida State Archives.
