    Beautiful photograph, especially the way the light catches their faces.

    so lovely. Great composition too.

    San Augustine County, Texas is in a heavily (pine) forrested area of deep east Texas. No wonder they were so concerned about fire.

    This Texas town and county are both "San Augustine" not "Saint." The tags need to be updated.
  • mary said:
    @leftymama: Update them, then? ;)
  • Matt Thompson said:
    Man, look at French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa. I also see the Belgian Congo and the Union of South Africa. I love seeing old maps like this
  • Brian Burger said:
    Same little girl as the previous picture, the inoculation one?
  • Aldo Prieto said:
    The inoculation was before geography class.

    this is gorgeous.
  • Andrew Schulz said:
    was the "paperclip belt" the "fad" back then?
  • Periodic Geese said:
    WOW what a picture.
  • Beverly Leeck said:
    Yes... the paperclip belt was just something fun we did back then!!! Can't think of anything similar except maybe those people who walk around with chains hanging from their belts. Children didn't usually have their own money so buying a wearable 'fad' would not be possible. We made our own :)

    Practically a Norman Rockwell. Awesome.
  • skillful north said:
    Look at all those freckles!
  • Donncha O Caoimh said:
    I wonder if that little girl is still alive?
  • Florin Cee said:
    What a great moment, so Rockwell-ish
    I was wondering that about most of the people in these photos.
  • Rob Scumaci said:
    I agree - stunning shot - like a Rockwell painting. I also find myself wondering what happened to these folks. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
