Pea pickers in California. "Mam, I've picked peas from Calipatria to Ukiah. This life is simplicity boiled down." California

![The image depicts a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, likely men and women from the early 1900s era. They are sitting on an old-fashioned truck that appears to be used for agricultural purposes such as transporting goods or farming equipment.
One of them is wearing glasses, a hat, a jacket with buttons, and trousers while holding onto his coat. The other individual wears a dark-colored coat with fur trim around the hood, gloves, and pants. Both individuals appear weary but are maintaining composed demeanors in front of the camera.
The truck has an open structure without doors or windows on its sides, exposing various internal components like shelves filled with items possibly related to farming activities. The vehicle's paint is faded, and there appears to be dirt and rust visible on the metal surfaces.
In the background, a rural landscape can be seen with fields extending into the distance under a cloudy sky. There are trees in the far field which could suggest that this scene takes place near or within an agricultural area.
The photograph includes text at its edges indicating it was taken by Dorothea Lange and references her project on pea pickers in California, dating back to 1938-42. The image captures a moment of rest during the workers' labor-intensive task as they sit amidst their work environment, possibly reflecting upon the challenges faced while earning meager wages.

![The alt text for the provided black and white photograph shows a large flock of sheep grazing on an open field. The scene is captured in grayscale, emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow rather than colors.
In this image, we see numerous groups of sheep scattered across various levels of gently sloping terrain. They are distributed from the foreground to the background, creating depth within the composition. Some sheep appear closer together as if following a path or being herded down the slope by an unseen shepherd, while others are spread out more randomly.
The field is composed mostly of dry grass with occasional tufts and patches where it seems less trodden upon by the herd. The absence of any visible fencing suggests that this may be a semi-wild flock allowed to graze freely in open pastures rather than on enclosed lands managed for sheep farming.
In the background, there's an expansive view extending into undulating hills or low mountains, suggesting a rural and possibly arid landscape where such grazing is common. The absence of any visible buildings or human figures suggests that this image was taken during non-working hours when shepherds are typically not present with their flocks. Overall, the photograph conveys a sense of calmness and tranquility associated with pastoral life.
The top right corner displays text "C.O.TOP 47," which could be an identifier for the specific flock or photo collection i [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/249/196/905/199/011/original/ab50acdd27260656.jpeg "The alt text for the provided black and white photograph shows a large flock of sheep grazing on an open field.

Migrant mother and children - California

![The image depicts a historical document with the title "Migrant Mother and Children" prominently displayed at the top. It features a black-and-white photograph of a woman, presumably in her mid-thirties to forties, closely holding two children on her lap or shoulder. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly within a simple sheltered environment given its plain walls and lack of decorative elements.
Below the photograph is a list titled "Publications Which They Have Appeared," detailing various newspapers where this individual has been featured between 1935-37-38-39. The entries include publications such as "The New York Times" on July 2, 1936 and in January 1940, alongside others like the San Francisco News, Oakland Tribune, Los Angeles Examiner, and several others across different years.
On closer inspection of this list, it seems to capture a significant amount of media attention that was not uncommon during the Great Depression era. This document is likely part of historical records or archives related to Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph "Migrant Mother," which has become synonymous with chronicling the plight of America's agricultural workers and their families in those difficult years.
The image itself bears a faded, worn look consistent with age, suggesting that it may be an original print or part of a larger collection.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting a woman with disheveled hair, her expression solemn as she gazes off to the side. She appears contemplative or concerned, with her hand resting on her cheek in a gesture of concern or worry.
In front of her chest are two children; one slightly older child looks up at her over his shoulder while the younger child clings tightly to her shirt for comfort and security. The clothing worn by all three individuals is rough-hewn and suggests poverty, with visible patches, dirt stains, and tatters on their clothes indicating hardship.
The setting appears humble and indistinct but seems to be outdoors or in a sheltered area made of simple materials. In the background, another person can be partially seen, suggesting that this might be part of a larger group living situation. The overall tone is one of struggle and resilience against adversity as exemplified by the subjects captured in this poignant snapshot.
Additional information about this image indicates it was taken during the Great Depression era in California when many families faced severe economic hardships due to crop failures or droughts, leading them into poverty with little access to basic necessities. The photograph aims to bring attention to these issues through capturing a moment of human vulnerability and determination among impoverished mothers like the one featured here.

Migratory field worker picking cotton in San Joaquin Valley, California. These pickers are paid seventy-five cents per hundred pounds of picked cotton. Strikers organizing under CIO union (Congress of Industrial Organizations) are demanding one dollar. A good male picker, in good cotton, under favorable weather conditions, can pick about two hundred pounds in a day's work

![The image is a black and white photograph capturing the essence of agricultural labor. It depicts an individual, likely female based on appearance, engaged in picking cotton from a field under bright sunlight. The person wears casual work attire suitable for manual labor: loose-fitting pants tucked into sturdy boots and a long-sleeve blouse that's pulled up at the wrists to prevent direct sun exposure.
The worker is bent over one of the plants, using both hands to gather or pick something—potentially cotton bolls given context. The field extends into the background with rows upon rows filled with dry, leafless plants—a stark contrast to the living ones in immediate proximity. This scene suggests late harvest time when most leaves have fallen off.
The photograph is credited as a part of "Cotton picker," showcasing agricultural labor within Southern San Joaquin Valley, California. Dorothea Lange's signature and date are visible on this image which indicates its historical importance as it likely serves to document the working conditions during that era in America's history when such fieldwork was prevalent for many communities.
There is Japanese text written vertically along one side of the photograph with English translations: "Cotton picker - A woman picking cotton," followed by a date or signature, possibly related to Lange.
