Postcard image of two indigenous Mexican women baking tortillas. In this image we see two indigenous Mexican women (perhaps a mother and her daughter) smiling at each other as they are photographed baking tortillas. A stack of tortillas cools off in front of a wooden prep board. Three young boys stand behind the women as they look on and smile. We can assume that the boys are the sons of the woman that they are standing closest to - the woman facing the camera. And the woman not directly facing into the camera may be the daughter of the other woman. The creator of this image did not provide information about where this event took place nor of the names for this Mexican family. This is most likely a Mexican refugee camp. There are several similar looking U.S. Army 1920 ca. period tents in the background. The back of the postcard reads: To Miss Gena Olsen, Hillside Street, Ridgefield, Bergen Co, New Jersey From Galveston, Tex. Aug 1, 1914, Thanks for [sic] nice letter. We leave tonight & I hope to see you next Sat. The boat will be nearly finished when we get back. Hope [sic] you feel good. …
