    His expression... wow.. A deep frown. It seems obviously he doesn't want to be there or alternatively he is squiting against the sun(although his eyes are in the shade of the hat). Makes the boy look real. Very nice picture.

    undeadsinatra: Thanks for the information! The spelling in the original caption could easily have been wrong. We’ll look into it. (It won't change right away because we need to keep the information we show here in Flickr and in our own catalog (http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html) in sync.)
