This black and white photograph depicts a woman in a patterned dress holding onto a child's shoulders as they walk through a field of tall grass. The adult appears to be leading the way, with her gaze directed towards something off-camera, while looking back at the child affectionately. Both individuals are dressed casually for outdoor activity; the woman wears suspenders over her dress and carries what might be gardening tools or supplies on her shoulder. The setting is rural, likely a farm given the title's reference to Jewish-American farmers in Hightstown, New Jersey. The photograph captures an intimate moment between mother and child amidst their daily life of working with crops, evoking themes of family bonds and communal effort during agricultural seasons. It seems like it was taken on 11/7/36 as indicated by the date at the bottom right corner. This image could be part of a larger collection or project focusing on rural American life in the early to mid-20th century, potentially documenting the lives of Jewish-Americans working with agriculture during that time period.
