August 1941. "Bean picker. Shawano County, Wisconsin." Our Lady of Legumes. Medium format acetate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.

Who would have guessed hat bean picker kids would be such a pulchritudinous bunch. The previous bean picker girl was cute as a button, this one is very pretty too. Of course young Mr. Vachon was filtering for it.
Of the Pretty Girls Gallery for you, young lady.

Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth
Of simple beauty and rustic health.
... And sweet Maud Muller's hazel eyes
Looked out in their innocent surprise.—John Greenleaf Whittier, "Maud Muller"
