Rob, I suppose, by the expression on the face of this pregnant wife, that she has 'some' (please notice the quotation marks) worries. If so, it's unclear what these worries consist of because the photograph allows us for many interpretations. It wouldn't amaze me that dealing with poverty could have been a reason for that.
Your usual very well done colorization has enhanced this (indefinable) feeling. Perfectly done job, my friend!

The colorization is perfect, I suspect she is worried about her home life, providing for the family the best she can, and then having another one in the oven. tigs=^..^=

A lot of these people from that era were truly poor, not by todays standards where you don't have a Xbox or HDTV. Great colourisation.

Your colorization of this great photo is excellent Rob. I suspect the girls dress was made from a flour sack.
For some reason I feel she has accepted her place in life and is just glad to have a roof over her head. I think there may be another child out of view that she is watching intently.
She has a dignity that outshines the poverty that has her for the moment.
Arthur Rothstein was a great photojournalist who chronicled the Depression life few others.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Looks like two, maybe, and one on the way - the mother is wearing the expression of concern on her face - the little girl has a pensive look as well - Rob, as always, your coloring is spot on - Excellent work my friend!!!!!!!!

Wonderful work s always Rob. The poor mother to me looks quite distressed - and tired. The little child also looks tired.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The Depression was a trying time for many. Sharecropping was a trying existence, with plenty for which to worry. Children should have opportunities to be happy; even they have a sad, stressed expression. Excellent colorization!

I read a heartbreaking statistic today that only 26 billionaires have the combined wealth of 3.8 billion less fortunate. With income inequality like that, our world might be more unjust and poverty stricken today than when this photo was taken. There may come a time, and fairly soon, that the old saying 'eat the rich' has some teeth to it.
