A black woman stands in the entrance of a house while three black children, two girls and a boy, lie on their stomachs on the front porch, all looking at the camera. Caption reads: "Three children taking their ease on a piazza floor which a flood has recently tilted. They belong to the same family, but see how different the expression is on each face. The flood was from the Mississippi and Ohio rivers which join nearby."
