A young girl is sitting on the ground against a wooden wall. She has short hair and wears a patterned dress with a Peter Pan collar, which suggests she may be from an earlier era or rural setting based on her attire.

Behind her, there's a poster that reads "I'm From Missouri" in bold lettering at the top, followed by additional text: "Glacier George," "South Barrett," and "Rosalie Morison." The poster appears to have been attached with screws or nails. There is also some small writing near the bottom of the image, but it's too blurry to read.

The girl has a solemn expression on her face as she sits cross-legged with her hands clasped in front of her. Her bare feet are visible at her sides, and she appears to be looking directly into the camera or possibly contemplating something off-camera.

This black-and-white photograph seems to capture an intimate moment from what could potentially have been taken during a time of hardship for this girl, as suggested by her disheveled appearance and posture against the wall. The mention that she is "a flood refugee" implies that there may be additional context related to natural disaster or displacement in her life story.

Given the historical significance of Dorothea Lange's work documenting social issues during various periods in American history, this image could likely belong within a broader collection focused on capturing human conditions and their emotional landscapes.
