Description
Signed in medium, bottom right corner: Henry Sugimoto. Written on back, left center: "Camp Jerome: 32 x 23 1/2" Stretched and framed. Wooden frame with gold streaks. Scene of life in camp. In the foreground, a bridge crosses over grassy area leading to a dirt path where a man pushes a wheelbarrow of hay; a man and boy walk hand and hand; two old women stop and talk; and a man carries wood planks over his shoulder. The sign, "Block 24," appears in the lower right corner. The right side is dominated by a barracks. A woman hangs laundry to the left of the structure while two men play a board game on a bench at the near end. In the open area on the left, a man tends a garden between two boys playing basketball and three girls jumping rope. A boy waves to another who stands in the distance in front of a mess hall and a truck marked "WRA." An American flag flies behind the barracks. A soldier stands in a watchtower behind barbed wire, upper left, under a blue sky.
