Portrait of Ted Weems, WINX, Washington, D.C., between 1938 and 1948
The image is a group portrait of nine people, likely taken in the 1930s to 1940s. They are standing close together, appearing as if they are posing for the photo. The individuals vary slightly in height, suggesting an average male and female build. Their attire suggests a casual yet formal occasion, with some wearing suits and others in dresses or blouses.

The setting appears to be indoors, possibly in a studio or a radio station given the presence of sound recording equipment in the background. The microphone stands on a sturdy base, indicating it is likely part of a professional setup for broadcasting. The large microphone suggests that these individuals might have been involved in broadcasting, perhaps as announcers, performers, or technicians.

The image has a vintage feel due to its style and the quality of the photograph itself. This could be due to the age of the photo or an intentional effect to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the time period it represents.

These cotton hoers work from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. for one dollar near Clarksdale, Mississippi
The image is a black and white photograph capturing a group of cotton pickers in Mississippi during the 1930s. There are at least eight individuals visible, all dressed in work attire typical for that era, including overalls or bib pants and hats to shield from the sun. They appear to be walking on a dirt path with a sense of purpose, likely heading towards their picking area.

The workers are spread out across the frame, some closer to the camera while others are further away, providing depth to the scene. There is no clear indication of the exact location within Mississippi, but the style of clothing and the activity suggest it could be in a rural or agricultural setting. The photograph has an aged appearance, which suggests it might have been taken some time ago and preserved over the years.

The overall tone of the image conveys a sense of hard work and resilience, typical of the Great Depression period when people were often faced with harsh working conditions and low wages. The photograph is part of a larger collection by Dorothea Lange, who documented the lives of rural Americans during this time.

Café in Amsterdam, Ed van der Elsken, c. 1970 - c. 1980

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an agricultural scene. It shows several rows of cultivated fields with furrows where crops have been planted, possibly potatoes given their uniform size and spacing. In the center of the image, there's a large tractor with attachments at the front, suggesting it may be used for tilling or plowing the fields.
