2.2002.716: Washington, Yakima Valley, near Wapato. One of Chris Adolph's younger children. Farm Security Administration Rehabilitation clients
PhotographsA black-and-white photograph shows the upper half of a young white girl with chin-length hair in the center of the foreground, wearing a short-sleeve floral dress with rounded open collar. She gazes down glumly with head tilted to the right, standing on leveled dirt while leaning against and grasping a sparsely barbed wire fence. Behind her to the left, an older white woman stands in the background, wearing a short-sleeve polka dot dress with a diamond pattern apron, looking towards the young girl and with her right hand on hip and left hand shading her eyes from the sun.
