Ben Shahn, being part of the FSA, took beautiful photgraphs of many familys that were in Rehabs. This image of two young boys are shown as a result of the midwest and it's conditions during the 1930s. In his documentary style, Ben Shahn depicts these two young boys as happy and relaxed, but also filthy. They are in ratty dirty clothing and are covered in dirt from head to toe. They seem content sitting on a wooden porch, but from a person looking at this photograph, even during this time, you see that these families aren't getting the help they really need.
