Dorothea Lange (@DorotheaLange)

Baby from Mississippi parked in truck at FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp, Merrill, Oregon. See general caption 62

The image appears to be an old photograph, likely from the mid-20th century given the style of the vehicle and clothing. It features a young child seated in the bed of a small truck with the hood open. The child is dressed in a light-colored outfit and seems to be observing something outside the frame. The truck itself has an old-fashioned design, and there's a curtain hanging at one window. The setting looks like it might be a rural or semi-rural area due to the presence of farmland in the background, which is consistent with the FSA (Farm Security Administration) context suggested by the caption. There are no visible texts on the image that provide further information about the location, event, or subjects beyond what has been described.
