The image shows four people, including three children and an adult male, working in a field. They are bending over as they harvest crops from the ground. The man is wearing suspenders and appears to be guiding or instructing one of the boys who has his hands on the crop stalks. Another boy stands nearby with his arms at his sides while watching the others work. A fourth child, likely an infant based on size, watches them as well.
The field they are in seems wet from recent rain or irrigation, and tall crops surround them, indicating that it may be a cornfield or similar crop. The photograph is black-and-white, suggesting it was taken some time ago when color photography was not commonly used for everyday images. It appears to have been taken by Dorothea Lange, who documented various aspects of American life during the early 20th century.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting two young children standing on the back of an old, weathered wooden cart amidst tall crops in what appears to be a rural agricultural field. The fields are filled with crop stalks that look like milo maize or corn. In contrast, three adult workers can be seen engaged in harvesting activities around them.

One worker is bent over picking from the rows while another is bending down near him as if inspecting or gathering crops. Both adults appear to be focused on their tasks and are wearing casual work clothing suitable for farm labor such as jeans, long-sleeve shirts, and hats likely made of straw or similar material providing protection against sun exposure.

The wooden cart has a flatbed design with some visible wear marks indicating it may have been used extensively. There is no clear indication of the exact location within California, but Near Manteca could be inferred from text overlaid on top left corner mentioning "Near Manteca," which implies proximity to that geographical area in San Joaquin County.

The photograph evokes a sense of rural life and agricultural labor commonly associated with mid-20th-century America. The children standing on the cart, possibly siblings or cousins given their age difference but similar appearance, suggest an innocence juxtaposed against adult responsibilities typically seen within family farm settings during that era.

The image is a black and white photograph showing two individuals working in a field of tall crops. The primary subject appears to be an adult woman with long, curly hair wearing a patterned vest over a light-colored blouse paired with dark pants and gloves while bending down amidst the crop stalks examining or picking something from them. Her facial expression is focused.

Behind her, slightly obscured by the vegetation but still discernible, stands another individual who seems to be observing her actions. This person's gender appears female based on clothing style which includes a sleeveless top, suggesting they could also be involved in farm work despite being significantly smaller in stature than the adult woman possibly due to age or growth.

There are no distinguishable features indicating race as it is not depicted through color since it’s black and white. The crops around them have slender leaves with slight variations of shades from light green near the base transitioning upwards into darker tones, common for many types of grain crops like milo maize which could be inferred due to their height reaching above chest level.

The photograph carries a historical or archival significance given its format and content suggesting it was taken during an era where such manual agricultural labor seems more prominent. The image also contains text metadata indicating that the woman is operating her own farm under Tenant Purch [...]
