1. The photograph is a black and white, grainy image depicting two young children sitting on the back of an old-fashioned automobile. The vehicle appears to be in motion given that it's captured with blurred wheels suggesting movement. On the left side, there’s a toddler who seems startled or curious; this child has light-colored hair, possibly blonde, is wearing what looks like a sweater or jacket and seems to be gripping something behind them for support. On the right, an older-looking child of approximately 5-8 years old appears to have short brownish-blond hair with bangs cut across their forehead. This child wears a coat over pants that could suggest cold weather conditions. The background is mostly blurred but hints at open sky and possibly rural landscape given the context provided by the text on top which seems to indicate location information, perhaps suggesting travel or migration during tough times as indicated by "Oklahoma refugees" mentioned in relation. The tire of a vehicle takes up much space, foregrounding its size relative to humans. The overall feel is one of historical documentation possibly capturing hardships faced by families during an era where rural-to-urban migrations were widespread due to economic conditions or war-time displacement.
