Large 1942 photograph of a Japanese American family relocated to a labor camp in Santa Anita as they tried to make the best of a poor situation with a mother putting on a brave face while her fellow Americans line up for imprisonment! Stamped on the back by the Dowling photo service of Hollywood, this is a poignant reminder of the biggest tragedy on American soil during WWII. Easily among the best images of Japanese internment we have ever seen and offered here for the first time ever, fresh from the archives of Underwood and Underwood.
