Lean-to Kitchen: 1936

Lean-to Kitchen: 1936

A 12-year-old girl in a family of nine cooks a meal in a rude, open lean-to hut in Tennessee. The family lives in an open field near the Tennessee River. Photograph by Carl Mydans, 1936. View full image.

Re: Rude

The first definition of "rude" in the dictionary actually uses the word hut: "Rude (adj) 1. crude or rough in form or workmanship [a rude hut]." The first definition of "crude" is "in a raw or natural condition." In any case that's the original caption as written by the photographer.

How rude!

I think your caption should read "...cooks a meal in a crude, open lean-to hut", not a rude one.

Kids today

You can see the same girl…

Dishes

Are you sure she's not washing dishes? That's what it looks like to me.
