This color slide depicts a woman leaning a large piece of plywood against her back. Wearing a brown pattered dress, she faces the viewer with the plywood leaning against her upper back and shoulders. She has a crucifix around her neck and a large circular pin or pendant on the front of her dress. Behind her are piles of plywood sheets and several A frame shelters. Groups of people stand among the shelters. The slide mount has text on the reverse that reads "processed by/ rogers color lab corp. / new york."
