I've always focused so much on her face that I never noticed the baby in her lap until you showed the colorized version.

I always thought these photos were depicting a dust bowl family. What an interesting story!

A wonderful historical fiction novel about this era is Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. Highly recommend. Pairs well with these visuals, sadly…

I’ve seen this picture so many times and this is the first time I’ve ever noticed she’s holding a third child.

This is so sad this picture was in just about every history book I had in grade school.

My goodness, 32yo, you can definitely see the stress and the weathering. x_x It IS a damn shame that the gov't only sent food, and not at least some sort of additional stipend to her for it all.

I never knew the whole story. I knew Dorothia Lang took the photo, but I never knew the woman knew nothing about the photo. Thank you so much for sharing.

B&W photos do not need to be colorized. Shadows, light and subject were taken highly into consideration.
