The image is a black-and-white photograph showing an elderly woman with glasses and wearing a dark coat with fur trim. She appears to be outdoors, as indicated by the background foliage visible through gaps in what seems like branches or leaves. The subject wears round-rimmed eyeglasses, has short hair parted on her left side, and is looking directly at the camera.

A caption above the photo reads: "San Francisco, Calif., Apr. 1942. An evacuee of the contingent of 664 residents of Japanese ancestry to be evacuated from San Francisco and housed in War Relocation Authority centers for the duration." Below this text is additional information stating that it's an original file by US War relocation authority with a photo number "A-53" and signed by Dorothea Lange, known as 'Lange' (likely referring to her full name: Dorthea Emma Lang).

The photograph has several pieces of tape indicating its archival nature. A label affixed at the top right corner mentions details about evacuees from San Francisco during World War II, referencing their displacement and internment in war relocation centers.

There is a handwritten note on the bottom left side that reads: "San Francisco - Apr '42 6/17 3-5pm" which could indicate a date or time reference related to this photograph.
