The Browning home, a partial dugout. Seven children live here. Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. General caption number 67

#MalheurCounty #Oregon #American #DeadOxFlat #DorotheaLanges #theDustBowl #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773677/

The image depicts a black and white photograph of an old, modest wooden cabin situated on a barren landscape. The house appears to be in disrepair with visible signs of wear such as peeling paint or siding damage. In front of the cabin is what looks like a dirt road leading away from it, suggesting infrequent use. Various objects are scattered around including barrels, crates, and possibly farming equipment, indicating that this may be a rural setting where manual labor occurs.

The surrounding terrain is flat with sparse vegetation, indicative of an arid or semi-arid environment typical for regions in the American West during certain periods. The sky above appears clear without any visible clouds, which could imply dry weather conditions at the time when the photo was taken.

There are no people present in this image, but it evokes a sense of isolation and hard life that one might associate with pioneer or frontier living as suggested by the general caption number 67. The house seems to be part of a larger settlement given there is more than just one structure visible on what looks like an elevated hillside.

The overall impression from this photograph, combined with historical context provided in captions such as "Dead Ox Flat" and descriptions mentioning rural Oregon during certain times, paints the picture of life for families or individuals living off-the-grid in a h [...]

Two of the seven Browning children in doorway of their Oregon home. Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. General caption number 67-111

#Oregon #MalheurCounty #DorotheaLanges #American #DeadOxFlat #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773655/

The image shows two children standing in a doorway, separated by vertical panels that resemble window frames. The child on the left is wearing a polka dot dress and holding something close to their face with both hands near the mouth area. Their hair appears unkempt and they have an expression of distress or contemplation. On the right stands another child dressed in overalls, which appear worn out and stained. This child's arms are also positioned around the neck level as if mimicking a gesture made by the other person on their side. Both children seem to be in disarray; one is holding what looks like bread above their mouth while the other has an unfastened button or item near its chest.

The background reveals wooden planks and weathered paint, suggesting this could be a rustic setting possibly indicative of hardship times based on clothing condition and overall atmosphere. There's some debris visible in the upper left corner against one of the panels behind them, further reinforcing that they may not have access to clean living conditions or resources for proper hygiene.

The image is presented as part of Dorothea Lange's work documenting various aspects of American life during challenging times.

#Oregon #DeadOxFlat #MalheurCounty #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773652/

The image depicts a black and white photograph of the doorway to an old wooden structure, possibly a cabin. Two young children are visible through the glass pane in the door; one appears to be holding something up near their face while the other stands beside them with a neutral expression. The left side of the frame shows part of what seems like a large metal container or stove on a stand and various items scattered around, including wooden planks leaning against the wall and some tools or containers lying in the dirt. On the right, there's another glass pane leading to an interior space where more plants are visible through a window box.

A handwritten inscription at the top left corner reads "Sept 1942," indicating that this photograph was taken during September of that year. The bottom portion contains additional text and numbers: “General Caption number 67-111." This suggests it's part of a larger collection or series, possibly from an archive or documentary project.

The image conveys a sense of rural simplicity, with the children in casual attire typical for their age group during that era. The setting appears humble but indicative of daily life and domesticity at the time.

The children from Dead Ox Flat get off bus at school yard. Ontario, Malheur County, Oregon. General caption number 67-1V

#Ontario #MalheurCounty #Oregon #DeadOxFlat #DeadOxFlatSchool #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773608/

This black and white photograph captures a group of eight children standing in front of an older model school bus. The setting appears to be outdoors, with trees visible in the background suggesting a rural or semi-rural environment. Each child is dressed casually; some wear overalls while others have on shirts and pants. They all appear to be staring directly at the camera, displaying a range of expressions from neutral to mildly curious.

The children are arranged somewhat haphazardly but generally face forward towards the viewer. The tallest boy stands slightly apart in the center-right with his head turned toward another child beside him who is holding what appears to be a book or notebook. To the left of this central figure, two boys stand close together; one holds an object that resembles a stone while the other has a solemn expression.

The bus behind them suggests it's used for transporting students from remote areas such as Dead Ox Flat mentioned in the caption. The ground is unpaved and shows signs of wear, indicating frequent use by both children and possibly vehicles. There are no discernible facial features or details that suggest any specific individual identities within this group.

Overall, the photograph has a candid quality, capturing a moment likely during school hours where these boys have just exited their bus for what could be class time at Dead Ox F [...]

Franklin Schroeder, from South Dakota, and his two older boys. Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. General caption number 67-111

#FranklinSchroeder #SouthDakota #MalheurCounty #Oregon #America #DeadOxFlat #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773599/

A black and white photograph featuring three individuals, presumably a father and two sons. The man sits in the center with an expression of mild amusement or contemplation, wearing a cap, shirt, trousers, and sneakers indicative of work attire from mid-20th-century America.

The boys are seated on his lap; to the left is a boy clad in overalls and suspenders typical for farmwork. The rightmost child appears younger with less clothing visible due to him examining corn husks closely, suggesting agricultural involvement or harvest time activities.

They sit against an unfocused backdrop hinting at rural surroundings—possibly a field edge—and their attire suggests hard labor: worn clothes, rough-hewn trousers, and simple footwear. This image captures the essence of rural life during that era, with the focus on manual labor as evidenced by work-worn clothing and activity in hand.

Additional information credits Franklin Schroeder from South Dakota alongside two older boys at Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. The context provided seems historical, likely documenting family dynamics within a working environment reflective of early to mid-20th-century rural America's agrarian economy.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting three individuals, likely from the early to mid-20th century. On the left side of the photo stands an adult male wearing work clothing with rolled-up sleeves and pants that show signs of wear or dirt. He has on a hat and appears to be engaged in conversation while holding what seems like a bundle of food items. 

In the middle, there is a younger boy dressed in overalls, also looking towards the man as he receives something from him.

To the right stands another child wearing striped overalls with suspenders, standing confidently atop a wooden structure that appears to be part of a farm or rural setting. This figure has on a knit cap and holds what looks like an apple while interacting with the adult male.

In the background are various objects indicative of work being done outdoors such as barrels, tools, and possibly parts of machinery. The environment suggests a dry landscape under clear skies typical of Oregon's countryside during that era.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting three individuals in an outdoor setting. The person on the left appears to be wearing work attire, including overalls with visible patches and dirt stains, suggesting manual labor or farm-related activity. This individual stands holding what seems like a small object between their fingers.

In the center of the photo are two younger boys standing on wooden planks that appear to form part of an animal enclosure. They are both dressed in casual clothing suitable for outdoor play: one wears a cap and overalls, while the other sports a beanie hat and suspenders. Their expressions range from curiosity or amusement as they watch their companion.

The boy on the right is seen balancing with outstretched arms on what looks like an animal's back, possibly attempting to climb onto it but failing in his attempt. The animals are not clearly visible beyond these figures of partial visibility, which may include a sheep and another smaller creature that resembles a pig or goat.

In front of them lies the "last watermelon of the season," as indicated by text overlaid on the image, hinting at the context behind this gathering: perhaps it's harvest time. The setting seems rural with dry grass visible in the foreground, suggesting an arid climate consistent with regions like Dead Ox Flat near Malheur County, Oregon.

The Emmett Smith house, one of the best of the flat. Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. General caption number 67-111

#EmmettSmith #MalheurCounty #Oregon #EmmettSmiths #DeadOxFlat #DorotheaLange #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773594/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an agricultural landscape. In the foreground, there's tall grass or crops occupying most of the space. A wooden fence post stands in what appears to be overgrown weeds or wild vegetation on the right side.

In the mid-ground, various rural structures are visible: two barn-like buildings with cylindrical silos attached; a rectangular building that could serve as a farmhouse or storage facility; and another simpler structure adjacent to it. Hay bales suggest recent agricultural activity in this area.

The background shows more open land leading up to an elevated horizon line where the sky meets what might be distant hills, contributing to a sense of vastness typical for rural Oregon countryside settings during the early-to-mid 20th century when such photographs were commonly taken. The absence of modern elements and the overall aesthetic suggests this picture could date back several decades.

The caption indicates that this photograph is part of Emmett Smith's house series, located in Dead Ox Flat within Malheur County, Oregon. This specific image appears to be general caption number 67-111 from a larger collection or study by Dorothea Lange.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017773592/

This image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene with rural characteristics. It shows a landscape that appears dry, possibly in the late summer or early autumn when crops are harvested but not yet planted again for the next season.

In the foreground, there's a small canal filled with what seems to be stagnant water reflecting some of its surroundings. The soil around it looks loose and somewhat eroded, indicating either neglect or erosion due to lack of vegetation cover.

A fence runs diagonally across the picture from left to right in the middle ground. It is supported by posts made of wood that show signs of weathering such as discoloration and possibly some rotting at their bases. The fencing appears makeshift with a wire running along it, suggesting an ad-hoc attempt rather than professional installation.

Beyond this fence lies open land which looks barren or recently plowed, devoid of any visible crop remnants like straw bales that are usually left after the harvest in such settings to be used for animal bedding during winter. The field extends into the background where a few leafless shrubs and trees can be seen on what appears to be rolling terrain.

A notable feature is a pile of hay or some other dry plant material, possibly remnants from last year's crop, stacked against one side of the fence in a somewhat haphazard manner.
