- Info created by Walker Evans, uploaded by MarkSweep and Yann, nominated by Yann
- Support Iconic picture from the Farm Security Administration collection, exhibited in The Bitter Years in the Museum of Modern Art. It is also mentioned in How to Read a Photograph by Ian Jeffrey. It was nominated in 2014, and didn't reach the required support, but its value is still the same 10 years later. FP on English WP. See also American Photographs, an exhibition and a book of Walker Evans's works. -- Yann (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think it was a lot harder for historic works to pass ten years ago. The recent promotion of the Ruby Bridges image shows historic value is much more valued nowadays, since it's poor composition was only mitigated by its high historic value, which would have been discounted in the past. Support, by the way Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
