August 1941. "Children of Maryland farmer helping harvest the tomato crop. Dorchester County, Maryland." Photo by John Collier for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
In Europe, Operation Barbarossa lasted for two months. II WW is speeding up.
A beautiful photo (probably siblings) - an idyll. I can see the color of tomatoes.
Thank you Shorpy !
1941, when it took two days from Mayland farm to DC market. These days, two days from CA farm to DC market?
And an unsettling effect of black and white photography. Whether that tomato is green or red, is has almost the same grey hue as those rather fair-haired kids' skin. Break out the sunblocker, please!
They look more like Children of the Corn to me.
