![The image captures a candid moment on an urban street where several men are gathered outside various establishments. The architecture suggests it might be in San Francisco, California during the early to mid-20th century.
In the foreground, three individuals stand together: one wearing a fur-lined coat and hat appears deep in thought or possibly asleep, another with a distinctive white cap looking outwards, while the third seems engaged in conversation. The men are dressed in attire typical of that era, including hats, coats, and suits, indicating modest to middle-class status.
Behind them, other individuals continue their day; some stand alone gazing into storefronts or windows, others walk by purposefully. On the right side, a man with a cane is visible, suggesting he might be elderly or have mobility issues. He walks away from the camera towards another direction on Howard Street.
The buildings display signs for businesses such as "MURRAY & READY" and establishments like "POOL ROOM," indicating leisurely activities available to locals at that time. The facade of one building has a signboard with partial visibility, stating it's an arcade or game room.
Notably, there is text on the image itself which reads "1935 E 20th Ave San Francisco Calif."

Employment agency on Howard Street. San Francisco, California

![The photograph captures a moment outside an employment agency located on Howard Street in San Francisco, California. It's black and white, reflecting the historical context of when Dorothea Lange took this picture; likely during or shortly after the Great Depression.
In front of the building stands a group of men dressed in suits with hats—a style that suggests early to mid-20th century fashion—and some are smoking cigarettes. Their posture varies from upright and attentive, as if they're awaiting their turn for an interview, to casual—leaning against walls or on each other's shoulders.
The sign above the entrance reads "International Employment Agency," indicating it deals with both local job seekers and perhaps those seeking employment in international locations during that time period. The surrounding area appears busy but not crowded; a few more individuals are visible walking by or standing near the building, suggesting this location is part of an active urban setting.
The architecture itself isn't heavily detailed within the frame, save for some decorative elements on what seems like overhangs above the doorway and windows. A price list and other notices are posted outside as well—perhaps advertisements or information about services offered by the employment agency.

Near the corner of 24th and Mission is a hidden little gem, Et Al Books and Gallery. There's barely any signage up front, but the inside is packed with beautiful art books, science fiction paperbacks, and a gorgeous gallery. More details here https://etaletc.com/infoa #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco

Scumbag: The Real #GavinNewsom
#AdamKinzinger Drops The TRUTH About #GavinNewsom
#SteveBannon is the next sleazebag on Gavin Newsom's podcast.
Even a #rightwinger like Kizinger knows better than this. I couldn't care less about the cunt, but at least Kinziger exposed who Newsom is.
My mum's friends from #SanFrancisco absolutely HATE Gavin Newsom. It's easy to see why!!!
