This is a photo during the Great Depression, a Christmas dinner in the home of  Earl Pauley near Smithland, Iowa in 1935. The children and man are gathered around a very small table and look to be very hungry, the way they're going at the food. This is a dramatic change from how the world is today, you wouldn't expect and mostly likely wouldn't find a Christmas dinner like this in America.
