Description
Photograph of people waiting in a bread line at church, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground at left, a metal gate and platform can be seen extending to the left. Several individuals can be seen along the gate looking at the line of people to the right. To the right, a large line of individuals can be seen along the gate and curving into the extreme background. In the background at center, the line can be seen stretching further to the right. Approximately seventy people appear to be waiting in line in the image. The men waiting in line can be seen wearing coat jackets, long pants, and rounded hats. The women shown can be seen wearing long dresses and wide-brimmed hats. To the far right, a few individuals can be seen along a wide staircase. In the extreme background at center, a line of trees can be seen. Beyond the trees, large buildings are visible from left to right.
