A black and white photograph of a young girl standing in front of a large poster. The poster reads "I'm from Missouri" at the top, with additional text including names such as Judith Barrett, George, Patricia Morrison, and others. The girl appears to be wearing a patterned dress or blouse with a collar embellished with what looks like buttons or decorative elements. She has short hair styled in an era-appropriate fashion for her age group. In addition, the photograph is accompanied by text that provides context: "The child is a flood refugee of March 1938 from southeast Missouri," and includes information about Westley, California as well. This suggests that the image may be part of historical documentation related to natural disasters or their impact on communities during this time period. The overall composition of the photograph seems intended to convey both personal emotion through the girl's expression and a broader sense of community experience by including the poster behind her.
