The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals, likely in rural settings. The older woman on the right wears a hat, dress with short sleeves, and appears to be supervising or instructing the younger girl standing beside her who seems focused on handling an old-fashioned mailbox that lies partially dismantled against its support post. They stand amidst vegetation indicative of overgrown fields typical of countryside areas in Georgia during the late 19th-century. The scene conveys a sense of simplicity and hard work, highlighting daily life activities such as maintaining or repairing rural infrastructure with minimal tools and resources available to them at that time. The historical context suggests this photo could have been taken around the early-to-mid-20th century in Georgia during the Great Depression era when Dorothea Lange was active.
