Portrait of Adele Girard, Joe Marsala, Nesuhi Ertegun, and William P. Gottlieb, Turkish Embassy, Washington, D.C., ca. 1940
The image is a black and white photograph of a farm in Hillhouse, Mississippi during the 1930s. In the foreground, there is a large, weathered wooden building with several people standing in front of it. A group of four adults and two children are positioned slightly off-center, with three of the adults looking directly at the camera. The man on the left is wearing a hat and has his arms crossed, while the woman next to him is holding a small child in her arms. The other adult in the group is a woman standing on the right, looking off into the distance. Behind the group, there are several other buildings and trees, indicating a larger farm or community. The photograph is taken from a slightly low angle, giving the impression of the viewer looking up at the subjects. The overall tone of the image is one of hard work and resilience, with the subjects appearing to be dressed in simple, practical clothing. The photograph is a snapshot of life during a difficult time in American history, and it conveys a sense of community and determination.
