It shows several individuals working on an agricultural farm as part of the last shipment to market before Japanese Americans were evacuated for relocation during World War II by the U.S. War Relocation Authority.

The image depicts a street scene in San Francisco, California during April 1942. A group of people is standing outside a store that appears to be having a close-out sale before the evacuation order was enforced on Japanese Americans. The setting is Grant Avenue in Chinatown area. One man prominently featured is carrying large bags and looking at various items for sale through a window display which reads 'SELLING OUT'. There are several other individuals, mostly women dressed in coats typical of mid-20th-century fashion, browsing the merchandise or waiting their turn to shop. The store signage indicates it's an alcohol establishment with signs such as "COCKTAILS?" and another that appears to be related to selling beer. The atmosphere seems busy yet calm despite the impending situation. In a historical context, this image captures the moment of forced displacement experienced by Japanese Americans during World War II when they were evacuated from coastal areas due to security concerns following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The original caption indicates it was taken for News International and is an "ORIGINAL FILE US WAR RELOCATION AUTHORITY." The photo has a historical significance, showing a snapshot of life amidst the tumultuous events leading up to internment during World War II.

The image depicts a scene on Post Street in San Francisco during April 1942. Several individuals, possibly Japanese Americans based on the historical context of World War II internment policies in California and other Western states for people of "Japanese ancestry," are shown boarding up windows of their stores with wooden planks.

The storefronts have banners, one prominently displaying "CATANI & SON OPTOMETRIC TRUST." A sign on the right side indicates an associated authority for war relocation. The overall tone is somber and conveys a sense of urgency and displacement during this turbulent period in American history.

The image is a black and white photograph showing an older man holding a young child on his lap. They are standing in what appears to be a living room or study, with furniture such as a chair visible in the background. The older man has short dark hair and glasses, wearing a suit jacket over a light-colored shirt, which suggests he may have been dressed up for an event when taking this photo. He is reading from an open book held on his lap while also holding a small rectangular object with both hands that seems to be of significance or interest. The child appears calm but uninterested in the camera's presence; eyes are closed and head tilted slightly downwards, possibly indicating fatigue or disinterest. The young boy has short dark hair, wearing what looks like overalls on top, suggesting casual attire for playtime or daily wear at home. There is a caption written across the bottom of the photograph which provides context about who these individuals might be and their circumstances during World War II in San Francisco: "San Francisco, Calif.

This image depicts a historical document and photograph displayed on what appears to be an archive or museum wall. The top section of the display includes text providing context about San Francisco, California during April 1942, mentioning T.Z. Shiota as an importer in Chinatown who was involved with Japanese American evacuees prior to their relocation centers due to war-related reasons. A prominent feature is a photograph labeled "T.Z. SHIOTA" by Dorothea Lange (Per NRA., May '40), showing the individual identified and photographed by Dorothea Lange, likely during that time period. Below this section are two other pieces of paper with handwritten notes or correspondence: one titled "HANDMADE SWITCHBOARD," mentioning T.Z. Shiota again in relation to a personal connection as someone's friend who helped him after he was released from incarceration at the Manzanar camp and later worked for him, possibly assisting with some work. The second piece of paper is labeled "T. Z. SHIOTA 1958 GRAIN VINEYARD," mentioning T.Z. Shiota again as a part-time employee since the early '30s who was recently laid off but had plans to start farming in March and hoping for better crops this year. There's also an official-looking document titled "US War relocation authority D-252" that appears to be related to wartime operations, including information about housing evacuees in war relocation centers. The display suggests a focus on the exper [...]

The woman on the left wears glasses, dark-colored clothing, including a coat, gloves, and a hat or cap; she has short hair. She is holding onto one of her legs while resting against a railing. Next to her sits another woman wearing a light-colored dress with stripes and shoes that have white socks protruding from them. The children around the women vary in age and attire but all seem to be dressed in casual clothing suitable for warm weather, suggesting it might not be cold outside at this time of year. One child on the left is seated next to one woman while another sits beside a kneeling figure; their ages range approximately between three and ten years old.

The image depicts a group of seven individuals, likely members of the Shibuya family, engaged in weeding on a field within an agricultural setting. This historical photograph is dated 1942 and captures them working amidst a vast expanse of farmland with sparse vegetation scattered across it. The people are dressed casually, wearing light-colored shirts and trousers or skirts, indicating warm weather conditions typical for California during the summer months. They appear to be focused on their task as they kneel or squat over patches in the ground where plants have been cultivated but not yet harvested. In the background stands a rural landscape with some buildings that resemble farm structures and possibly residential houses, under an expansive sky suggesting it is midday due to the brightness of light casting short shadows. A handwritten caption at the top provides context for this historical moment: "Mountain View, Calif., 1942 ([?]). Members of the Shibuya family weeding a field on a ranch which they owned prior to evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry. The evacuees will be housed on War Relocation Authority centers for the duration of the war." The photograph is attributed as an original file from US War relocation authority and bears a photo credit that reads "Dorothea Lange - San Francisco (CA) [?]." This indicates Dorothea Lange's role in documenting this significant period during World War II when Japanes [...]

The image depicts a black and white photograph dated April 1942, showing an individual engaged in the task of picking strawberries on a ranch located in Mountain View, California. The person is dressed warmly in what appears to be period-appropriate clothing for cool weather, with layers including a skirt or dress, leggings, boots, and a shawl draped over their shoulders. The setting suggests agricultural work as we see rows upon rows of strawberry plants under cultivation. This scene captures the daily life during World War II when Japanese farmers were affected by war-related policies that led to their evacuation from farming areas such as this ranch in Santa Clara County. The individuals who had been working on these farms prior to eviction ended up living and working in nearby relocation centers. The photograph is credited to Dorothea Lange, a renowned photographer known for her work documenting the human condition during various historical periods including the Great Depression and World War II era. This specific image is part of the original file collection from US War Relocation Authority (WRA), which was responsible for managing these camps housing Japanese-American internment. The photograph carries significant historical weight, reflecting a period in American history characterized by racial prejudice and systemic injustices against Asian-Americans during wartime events such as Executive Order 9066.
