It’s #AdoptACatMonth and we’re spotlighting some of our sweet seniors in need of homes!

The image depicts a person in period attire, specifically from around 1942 during World War II. The individual is wearing what appears to be heavy-duty work clothes including gloves and a hat or helmet that suggests labor-intensive activities such as farmwork.

They are standing on wooden crates which have signs of wear and usage indicative of storage or transportation containers. In their hands, they hold an object resembling cauliflower which has been frosted with ice suggesting the process is part of preservation for shipment to markets in eastern regions prior to evacuation measures taken due to wartime policies targeting Japanese Americans residing near farming areas.

The photograph carries a caption indicating its context as being related to war relocation authorities during World War II. It notes that people, presumably from this section, would be evacuated and placed in relocations centers across the duration of the conflict. This suggests an attempt at archival documentation or reportage about these events which are part of American history.

The photograph is labeled with a reference number "L0G-23149" possibly indicating its cataloging within a larger collection, while also specifying it as original material from Dorothea Lange (circa 5/76), implying her authorship. The overall composition and content of the image reflect historical significance, capturing an everyday yet poignant moment amidst wartime restri [...]

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an interior scene from April 1942 in Centerville, California.

Surrounding the central figure are various items, including crates with more produce, some labeled "R.F.E," a sign indicating door directions to an office or storage area for cold storage at 1280-3456 (unspecified), as well as additional text and numbers which provide further context about the photograph's location and history.

Centerville, Calif. Apr. 1942. Young workers of Japanese ancestry picking peas on a farm in Alameda county, before the evacuation of such persons and their assignment to War Relocation Authority centers. The centers will offer opportunities to follow agricultural and other callings

#Centerville #Calif #Japanese #Alamedacounty #California #AlamedaCounty #USWar #WorldWarII #DorotheaLanges #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20216403

The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting two individuals working in an agricultural field. They are engaged in the task of picking peas from plants that appear to be in rows, supported by stakes or trellises. The setting suggests a rural area with abundant vegetation.

Both workers wear hats and casual clothing suitable for outdoor labor. One worker is bending slightly over, reaching down towards the ground level where the pea plants grow close together. They hold a bucket or container presumably filled with picked peas in their hands. The other individual stands upright, seemingly attending to another plant row behind them while carrying what looks like a basket.

The photo's caption provides historical context, stating it was taken during April 1942 and is situated at Centerville, California. It mentions young workers of Japanese ancestry who were engaged in picking peas on an Alameda County farm before their evacuation for War Relocation Authority centers. The photograph seems to be part of a collection related to the US War relocation authority.

The image carries a heavy historical significance as it captures a moment during World War II, reflecting internment policies and labor demands at that time. It also showcases Dorothea Lange's photography work through her documentation effort for this subject matter.

Centerville, Calif. Apr. 1942. An interior view of the Japanese-American Citizens League. A Japanese language school was conducted in this building, prior to the evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry who will be housed in War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war

#Centerville #Calif #Japanese #American #WorldWarII #Japanese-Americans #California #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20216403

The image is a black and white photograph featuring several historical elements. At the top of the frame, there's text providing context about the photo: "Centerville, Calif., Apr 1942. An interior view of the Japanese-American Citizens League. A Japanese language school was conducted in this building prior to the evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry who will be housed in War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war." Below that text is a large American flag with white stars on a blue field, held by what appears to be an indistinguishable figure wearing gloves. To the left and right sides are two framed photographs depicting groups of people: one looks like a formal group portrait featuring many individuals dressed in dark clothing arranged for a photograph session, while the other shows young boys lined up with baseball uniforms on.

The overall composition suggests that this image is part of an archive or collection documenting life during World War II and specifically focusing on Japanese-Americans. The presence of both American flags and images of groups could signify pride, organization, or community within the context of wartime internment centers in California.

Centerville, Calif. Apr. 1942. Young workers of Japanese ancestry picking peas on a farm in Alameda county, before evacuation and, later, housing for the duration of the war, in War Relocation Authority centers

loc.gov/pictures/item/20216403

The image depicts a historical scene from April 1942 in Centerville, California. It shows two young Japanese American workers picking peas on a farm within Alameda county before they were evacuated and later housed for the duration of World War II by the United States government's relocation authority centers.

In this black-and-white photograph taken by Dorothea Lange (labeled as Loper in the metadata), one worker is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, while both are dressed in work-appropriate clothing. They appear to be working together on an agricultural task. The setting includes rows of crops and wooden crates used for collecting produce.

The photograph captures a moment from American history during World War II when Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated due to racial prejudice and suspicion, which led to the establishment of internment camps as part of Operation T-1057342. This historical context adds depth to the image's content, highlighting social issues related to race, ethnicity, and government policies.

The metadata indicates that this photograph is an original file with a reference number "A-69" and was taken by Dorothea Lange on March 8th, 1942.

Centerville, Calif. Mar. 1942. A Japanese woman transplanting tomato plants in a section where, before evacuation, farmers of Japanese ancestry operated the farms or ranches

#Centerville #Calif #Japanese #WorldWarII #JapaneseAmerican #DorotheaLanges #American #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20216403

The image depicts a woman kneeling on the ground, planting tomato plants in what appears to be a section of farmland. She is wearing protective clothing including gloves and a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection. The setting suggests she may have been involved with agricultural work before being evacuated from her area due to wartime restrictions against Japanese immigrants during World War II.

The photograph includes handwritten annotations, stating the location as Centerville, Calif., in March 1942, mentioning that this woman is a "Japanese American" who was previously farming land operated by farmers of Japanese ancestry. The image seems part of Dorothea Lange's work for the US War Relocation Authority during World War II.

The visual elements convey themes such as resilience, adaptation to new circumstances after displacement, and maintaining traditional practices despite challenges brought on by social policies at that time in American history.

This black and white photograph depicts a rural scene with rows of grapevines on either side of a dirt road. The vines are planted in neat, orderly rows, creating a patterned landscape that extends into the distance where two barns or storage buildings can be seen at the end of the row. Above these structures stands an old water tower, and beyond them is a treeline with more vegetation.

The image suggests agricultural activity within this rural setting, likely involving grape production given the presence of vineyards. The absence of people in the photo emphasizes the stillness and quiet atmosphere of the countryside landscape.
