    You can almost feel how hot it is! I need to go for a swim!
  • advocateone@sbcglobal.net said:
    It is amazing how history has been captured by the photographer. It is the essence of Mark Twain, but happening in 1940. Very intense in bringing the past to life.

    And no one steals their clothes?
  • aware health said:
    What do you suppose the cardboard is for? Someone seems to have collected it.
  • general weather said:
    I'm sure some of the cardboard was used for re-lining the insoles of the shoes. New shoes were hard to come by. Back then, everything was recycled.

    I am interested in writing a book (a historical novel) about slavery and Harriet Tubman. May I please use this photograph in my book, please? Of course, you will be named with the photograph! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you and have a blessed day!

    To the seeker without frontiers: The picture has the status of “no known copyright restrictions,” in this case because the photo was made by the U.S. federal government, which are not eligible for U.S. copyright protection. You can find out more about the “no known copyright restrictions” status on this Flickr page: www.flickr.com/commons/usage/. We also offer information in our rights overview, “Copyright and Other Restrictions That Apply to Publication/Distribution of Images: Assessing the Risk of Using a P&P Image”—sometimes there are other types of rights to consider, in addition to copyright so best to review this as well. The Library of Congress is generally not in a position to grant or deny permission to publish images from its holdings because in most cases it does not hold rights to the images.
