This image is a monochromatic poster or drawing depicting a scene related to the Dust Bowl, a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. A person is shown seated outside a wooden building, next to a window, with what appears to be a weathered and distressed expression, hands near the face. The person is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and what seems to be a work shirt with rolled-up sleeves. A piece of newspaper with the headline "STOCKS HIT NEW LOW" is resting on one of the legs.

In the background, the landscape illustrates a bleak, barren field with a damaged fence, a windmill, and a small house faintly visible through a haze or storm-like environment. At the bottom of the image, there is large text that reads "SIX MONTHS OF DUST," followed by smaller text describing the adverse effects of the Dust Bowl: it has "killed the crops, burnt out the gardens, left famished and dying stock. Resettlement is finding new safe land for victims of the dust and is turning the dust lands back to grass." The image captures the hardship and environmental catastrophe of that historical period and provides context regarding efforts to alleviate the suffering through resettlement.

This is a powerful historical artwork/poster from the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s. The sepia-toned illustration shows a distressed farmer sitting on what appears to be a porch or steps, with his hands to his face in a gesture of worry or despair. He's wearing a wide-brimmed hat and work clothes, and has a newspaper beside him. In the background, there's a desolate rural landscape with a farmhouse and windmill visible. Through a window, there appears to be another figure looking out.

The bottom of the poster reads "SIX MONTHS OF DUST" followed by text explaining that the dust has "killed the crops, burnt out the gardens, left famished and dying stock. Resettlement is finding new safe land for victims of the dust and is turning the dust lands back to grass."

This appears to be a government poster related to the Resettlement Administration's efforts during the Dust Bowl period, when severe drought and poor farming practices led to devastating dust storms across the American Plains, forcing many farmers to relocate.
