Description
Korea, 1950-10. On the side of a dusty street, Korean women street-vendors with their children sell potatoes which are set on display in front of them. Some of the vegetables are lying in small saucers, one of which stands on a foot-stool (left). Other potatoes are sitting in or on large wicker baskets. A woman (right) is nursing an infant child, while a packet of 'Wheat Flakes' lies next to her. In the background are the ruins of some buildings, destroyed in the fighting between allied and North Korean forces. (Donor I. Robertson)
