His expression... wow.. A deep frown. It seems obviously he doesn't want to be there or alternatively he is squiting against the sun(although his eyes are in the shade of the hat).
Makes the boy look real.
Very nice picture.
This photo was invited and added to the My museum group.

Very moving pictures and painful to look at . The expression of these children shows their sense of dignity in their suffering.

Wonderful! Kids had so much more incentive in those days. They didn't sit around the house playing video games or Tweeting inanities to their friends!

Sad but important to see this part of our history before child labor laws took effect in 1938. Thanks for sharing these excellent photos!
