The image depicts a black and white photograph showing four people in rural attire seated on an old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage with wooden spoked wheels. The group appears to be composed of two men, one woman, and possibly another child or adult, all wearing hats suitable for sunny weather, indicating it might be from the early 20th century judging by their clothing style. In front of them is a small white dog standing on the ground next to the carriage's wheel. In the background stands an old log cabin with visible signs of wear and age, situated amidst dense forest trees that suggest this scene takes place in a wooded area or rural setting. The overall impression given off by this image suggests it was taken during a time when life for many people involved farming and living close to nature; perhaps within a sharecropping community as mentioned in the additional information provided. The expression on their faces is neutral, with no signs of overt emotion like joy or sadness which could provide context about why they are leaving home. The photograph has been archived by Dorothea Lange for historical documentation purposes and carries an important cultural value reflecting life during that era within rural America's sharecropper communities.

The image depicts a field of tobacco plants with one plant prominently in the foreground. This particular plant has its blooms removed, leaving behind long stalks and a cluster of small buds at the top where flowers should be. The surrounding foliage consists of large, elongated leaves that have a textured surface indicative of mature tobacco plants. In the background, we see more rows of these plants stretching into the distance under an overcast sky. This field is likely part of a larger agricultural operation dedicated to cultivating tobacco for commercial purposes.

The image depicts a black and white photograph of an agricultural scene. In the center, there is a donkey standing in between rows of plants that appear to be tobacco leaves, given their size and shape. The plantations are quite extensive, indicating significant cultivation activity. On either side of the donkey stand two individuals who seem to be tending to or inspecting the crops. Both people wear hats typical of rural laborers from a bygone era, suggesting they might be farmers or workers in the field. One person is bent over slightly towards the plants while looking down at them, and another stands upright with their back partly facing us. The background features dense trees that suggest this scene could be set on the outskirts of a forested area or within rural farmland. The overall atmosphere conveys hard work associated with agricultural labor from an early 20th-century setting in America.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals working in a tobacco field. The landscape extends into the distance, filled with rows of tall, leafy plants that are likely tobacco crops. In the foreground, one person wearing a wide-brimmed hat appears to be examining or tending to the crop directly on the ground. This individual is crouched down and seems focused on their task. In contrast, another worker stands in the middle distance, leaning over slightly as if gathering something from the field with both hands. They wear dark clothing that blends into the shadows of the plantation rows behind them. Dominating a central position between these two individuals is an animal wearing blinders—a donkey or mule—trotting down the path cut through the crops. The creature has straps and possibly reins on its head, indicating it might be used for pulling something along. The sky overhead appears overcast, suggesting early morning light that casts a soft glow across the scene but does not create strong shadows due to the cloud cover. In the background, dense foliage from trees or bushes can faintly be seen at the edge of the field, providing depth and framing the agricultural setting.

This black and white photograph captures a person hanging up strung tobacco inside the barn. The perspective is from above, looking down into an elevated wooden structure where a large amount of loose-leaf tobacco leaves are being spread out to dry or cure. The individual appears to be wearing work clothes with long sleeves and possibly overalls, indicating that they may not want their clothing soiled by the dusty nature of handling such materials. The barn interior is dimly lit, creating shadows in some areas where light does not reach directly. The wooden beams crisscrossing above suggest a rustic or traditional construction method typical for rural American farms during certain historical periods. Some portions of wood are more visible than others due to their relative position and the angle at which they intersect.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural scene. It appears to be from the early 20th century, judging by its monochromatic tone and style of clothing worn by individuals present. In this setting, there are three people: two younger children wearing hats and one adult male in work attire with rolled-up sleeves and a cap, suggesting manual labor or farming activity. The older man is standing near the entrance to a log cabin which looks rustic and weathered. The central focus of the photograph shows a large heap of what seems like harvested tobacco leaves spread out on the ground for drying. These dark-toned leaves are stacked in several piles with some extending beyond the visible edge, indicating their substantial volume. Surrounding this scene is dense forestation consisting mainly of trees and underbrush typical of wooded rural areas. The environment looks untamed yet productive, which adds to the historical feel of agricultural labor possibly during a time when such manual harvesting was prevalent.
