1. The image depicts a group of women and children sitting closely together in what appears to be an outdoor public setting, likely at some sort of event or gathering. The photograph is black-and-white, suggesting it may have been taken during the early 20th century based on clothing styles and hairstyles. There are four prominent figures: two older women seated side by side with children resting on their laps; one woman holds a baby while another child sits in her lap looking up towards someone or something out of frame. The fourth figure is partially visible to the right, sitting beside an infant who clutches onto what seems like a toy. The background reveals that they are at some sort of event as there's text indicating "Adult" and possibly other details related to ticketing for entry; however, this specific context remains unclear due to partial visibility. The expressions on their faces range from neutral to slightly concerned or attentive but overall convey the atmosphere typical of communal gatherings. This photograph captures a moment in history likely pertaining to social interaction among members within an immigrant community during that era as suggested by caption mentioning 'Migrants camp'.
