This black and white photograph depicts a medical consultation taking place in what appears to be an examination room or trailer. A nurse, dressed in professional attire with a dark dress adorned by a flower on the lapel, is examining a young child seated beside an adult male who holds another child's hand gently, possibly providing support during this interaction.

The focus of attention seems centered around the well-being and health evaluation of the small boy wearing a sleeveless top. The nurse, kneeling for closer inspection or comfort to the child, has her hands placed on his leg while she attentively looks down at him.

In the background, another adult is partially visible behind a chair with papers pinned up against it and what seems like medical equipment such as an examination lamp attached above. This setting suggests that this scene might be part of a mobile health clinic designed to provide essential services in remote or temporary living situations, which aligns with the description provided.

The image captures a moment reflecting compassion, care, and possibly hardship faced by migrant families during their stay at Merrill FSA camp located in Klamath County, Oregon. The context hints that this was part of an ongoing effort to document rural life through photography under programs like those managed by the Farm Security Administration (FSA). — This black and white photograph depicts a medical consultation taking place in what appears to be an examination room or trailer.

Hop picker with her children goes from paymaster's window to company-owned store adjoining. She had earned forty two cents that morning, spent it for one pound bologna sausage, one package "Sensation" cigarettes, one "mother's cake." Oregon, Josephine County, near Grants Pass.

The image depicts a black and white scene of three individuals, presumably in an outdoor setting. In the center stands a person wearing jeans and a sleeveless top, with their hands resting on a counter or shelf containing various items such as bread loaves labeled "BREAD 1 OZ. HUT LOAF," hamburgers priced at "$0.50," and other food products.

To the right of this central figure are two children; one is reaching up towards an item, while the other child appears to be in motion or playfully moving away from their stance. The ground beneath them shows scattered debris, possibly small pieces of litter or discarded items.

The backdrop includes a wooden structure with additional signage and what seems like a window or opening for service. Various objects can also be seen through this opening, potentially indicating an adjacent room or area within the establishment. — The image depicts a black and white scene of three individuals, presumably in an outdoor setting.

Laundry facilities in migratory labor camp. Imperial Valley, California, near Calipatria

#ImperialValley #California #Calipatria #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017769858/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor setting with barren ground, likely in Imperial Valley, California. A woman wearing a long-sleeve dress is seen leaning over a large wooden tub filled with water, presumably doing laundry or washing clothes by hand using her hands. The surroundings include scattered debris such as branches on the ground, suggesting a rural and perhaps semi-arid environment typical of migratory labor camps during certain periods in history.

In the background to the left side of the photograph is an old-fashioned car, indicating that this photo may be from several decades ago when automobiles were less common. There are also tents or temporary structures visible further back on what appears to be a dirt field with sparse vegetation and trees. The overall atmosphere suggests hard labor conditions experienced by migrant workers in agricultural communities.

The image captures the essence of manual laundry tasks performed under challenging circumstances, reflecting historical aspects of rural life for migratory laborers who often worked far from home and had limited access to modern amenities like indoor plumbing or washing machines. — The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor setting with barren ground, likely in Imperial Valley, California.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017774397/

The image shows a family of four individuals inside and near a makeshift tent. The structure is simple, with fabric walls supported by wooden poles and stakes into the ground for stability.

Within the tent, there's a woman in front who appears to be standing guard or observing their surroundings attentively. She has her hand raised up close to her face, possibly wiping her nose or mouth. Her expression seems contemplative or worried. The other three individuals are outside of the tent: one child is seated on wooden boxes with his head down and eyes closed as if he might be asleep or resting; another small boy stands beside him looking out towards something beyond the frame with a neutral posture, while an older girl holds what looks like a broom upright in her right hand. They all wear long-sleeved shirts suitable for cooler weather.

Outside of the tent is another adult man seated on wooden boxes pouring contents from one bucket into another. He's dressed warmly and seems engaged in his task with focused attention to it, indicating that he might be trying to cook or prepare a meal despite their circumstances. In front of him lies an old-fashioned metal bucket filled with what could possibly be food supplies.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773357/

The image captures a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor living situation. In the foreground, there is a vintage automobile with its door open, revealing various items placed on wooden pallets beside it, such as what appears to be sacks of potatoes or similar produce. A woman is seated near this makeshift table arrangement; she seems engaged in some task involving cloth material.

Behind her, several improvised shelters made from tarps and other materials are erected, suggesting temporary living quarters. These structures appear rudimentary and hastily constructed, indicating a lack of permanent housing facilities.

In the background, there's an open field with more tents or makeshift dwellings spread out across it. A small commercial building labeled "American Gas Service" is visible in the distance, along with other vehicles parked around this area, hinting at some sort of gathering spot for individuals engaged in agricultural labor.

The overall setting gives a strong impression of hardship and transient living conditions, which may be associated with migrant workers or those displaced due to certain circumstances. — The image captures a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor living situation.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017772165/

The image depicts a dilapidated wooden structure situated on uneven terrain. The building appears to be supported by concrete blocks and sits at an angle, indicating potential instability or neglect over time. It has two visible windows with closed shutters, suggesting abandonment or disuse. Surrounding the foundation are patches of grass and weeds, adding to the impression that this location is not regularly maintained. There's a noticeable decline in soil quality around the structure, possibly due to erosion from rainfall. The photograph is monochromatic, which gives it an aged appearance, reflecting perhaps on how long ago this building was photographed or if the original image has faded over time. This kind of architecture and setting might be associated with historical rural settings, especially considering that Dorothea Lange's work often documented socio-economic conditions in America during the early 20th century.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017771490/

The image depicts a black and white photograph with three men standing outside what appears to be an office tent. The setting seems informal, possibly in a rural or desert environment based on the barren ground visible around them.

On the left side of the frame is one man walking away from the camera towards another individual inside the tent entrance labeled "OFFICE." He's dressed casually with trousers and shoes that suggest work-related attire. His posture indicates movement as he strides forward.

In the center, a second person stands facing slightly to their right, engaging in what seems like conversation or discussion with someone not visible within this frame of the photo. They wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses perched on top of it, and have rolled-up sleeves indicative of manual work activity such as farming. Their stance is relaxed but attentive.

On the right side stands another man leaning against the tent's exterior wall. He wears dark trousers, long-sleeved shirt or jacket with visible creases suggesting wear from movement or labor-intensive tasks, and a wide-brimmed hat similar to that of his companion in the center. His arms are casually crossed over his torso.

Housing typical of that afforded Mexican field workers of the Imperial Valley. These people are not migrants, but live on the edge of the ranches and work in peas and melons

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017769677/

The image depicts a dilapidated wooden structure, possibly an old farm or ranch building. It is made up of weathered wood planks with visible gaps and broken sections where the walls are partially collapsed. The roof appears damaged, with missing shingles exposing the inner layers of boards to the elements. A single-standing support beam stands on one side, indicating structural instability.
The scene is set against a backdrop of an open field under a cloudy sky, suggesting arid or semi-arid conditions typical for agricultural areas such as Imperial Valley in California, which has historically been home to Mexican laborers working in farming industries like peas and melons. The landscape around the structure appears barren with no visible vegetation close by.
The black-and-white nature of the photograph contributes a historical context, potentially dating back several decades when color photography was less prevalent or unaffordable for many people. It evokes a sense of abandonment or neglect, highlighting socio-economic challenges faced by rural populations in agricultural regions like Imperial Valley during that time period. — The image depicts a dilapidated wooden structure, possibly an old farm or ranch building.

The image depicts a row of tents and several older model cars parked in an open field. This scene appears to represent an emergency migratory labor camp, as described by the caption from Farm Security Administration records. The setting is located near Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California. It seems like these are temporary shelters for people who might be migrating or working on a project that requires them to stay in one place temporarily before moving again.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770724/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural landscape scene. There's no visible activity or people in the photo, which gives it a deserted feeling despite showing several buildings.

In the foreground of this panoramic-style shot lies what appears to be a dirt road that leads into fields on both sides with patches of grass and shrubs scattered around. The field looks like an agricultural area given its size and texture.

On one side of the path are a series of wooden houses, varying in design but all appearing aged. There is at least three distinct structures visible from this perspective; they seem to be modest, possibly indicative of rural living conditions during that era.

The other side displays more open land leading up towards what seems like some kind of larger building or farm structure further down the path on a rise with trees surrounding it. On one end stands another solitary house which appears slightly taller and is white in color contrasting against its surroundings.

There's an overarching overcast sky, suggesting that this could be early morning or late afternoon based on shadows visible but not too long to indicate midday sunlight. The absence of any modern elements like cars suggests the photo was taken several decades ago; indeed it seems historical considering there are no signs indicating a specific location beyond general rural farming regions.
