Mr. Beans: 1939
August 1939. "Oregon. Unemployed lumber worker goes with his wife to the bean harvest. Note Social Security number tattooed on his arm." The jolly fellow seen here a few years back. Photo by Dorothea Lange. View full size.
Two pictures are better than one
I recognized this guy instantly, but where I thought he was nice looking in the first one, this one isn't that impressive, IMO!
I have always believed that one picture of a person can be fairly misleading. Two pictures provide much more information!

Hemingwayesque
This man reminds me of writer Ernest Hemingway when he was a young man.
The similarity is even more pronounced in the other photo linked to in the above caption. In that other photo, we see a very attractive lady in the background who was this man's wife. These two people have a look of refinement about them that makes one wonder if they were formerly well-to-do and then fell on hard times.
At any rate, the photos are very interesting. Many thanks for posting.
