August 1938. "Farmpeople at the county fair in Central Ohio." View full size. 35mm nitrate negative by Ben Shahn for the Farm Security Administration.
I love how the adults sitting in a circle around the tree echoes the merry-go-round behind them.
I love the lady to the left. She has a sweet smile. Reminds me of my late Grandmother.
...How merry-go-rounds have not really changed from 80+ years ago. How every dress is different and how they are dressed up, some with hats...how today that picture would have all jeans/casual sweats.
Sure reminds me of Ma Kettle
