Photography: Home Schooling, 1939. An alarming image of two children in a clapboard shack learning their numbers and alphabet written on a sheet hung on the wall. The shack is illuminated by an oil lamp. Behind them, a woman, perhaps their mother, points to items on the sheet. At the top of the sheet are written the words "The rain are fallin," giving an indication of the quality of do-it-yourself education. Framed, overall size 13.75" x 16.25". Fine. Estimate US$ 50-75
