Original – Dorothea Lange's "Broke, baby sick, and car trouble!", showing Missouri migrants to California in 1937.

Reason: A fine photograph by Dorothea Lange that helps get the desperateness of the dust bowl migrants across.

Comment The original file has been inverted for the reason unclear to me. Is it LoC that has the wrong inversion? Brandmeister^talk 16:26, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Brandmeister: It's on the file description page: The LoC has two scans, each mirror images of each other. I checked carefully, nd realised you can just see a sign in front of the jalopy, with enough letters visible to definitely say the original image was flipped, and the other (lower-quality) scan got it right.

  - Thanks. There's also some inscription on the box just above the trailer wheel, but it looks illegible to me. Brandmeister^talk 19:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Also, if you presume the line left (in this chirality) of the car in the background is the median line, it would be driving on the left if in the original chirality.
