The great naturalist Photographer of all time, Ansel Adams, did a short photo set of Japanese Internment Camp members during World War II. Of the more than 200 photos he took at Manzanar, this is one of the best showing Japanese workers in the fields looking more like slaves than residents. A statement photo for sure and perhaps as political as Adams got, this is an important image from one of America's most important photographers. Condition is quite nice and although this is a restrike from the 1970's, it is still more than forty years old!
