- Description
- A destitute woman is seated against a wooden fence or other wooden structure. Her clothing is tattered, her feet are bound in rags. It looks like she is either inspecting a wound on her leg – disease and sores being so common among the starving, or adjusting the wrapping around her leg. The captions with both published photos mention that the woman is infested with lice, a condition quite common among the homeless.
