"Family of Man"

This portrait is in the "Family of Man" photo book. I've had this book for 40+ years. A lot of photos from the the Depression, including the next photo of this set. One of the books that got me interested in photography.

That stare says a lot.

This area used to be the edge of town. It is now exclusive homes, shopping and office buildings.

I think "solten" is German for "[they] should", so presumably "such a serious view of [life], children should laugh".
I assumed the child was a boy
It was Mary Badham. :-) And

She looks like the actress that played Scout in the movie TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
