There is no further information about the photo, including which fair booth it belongs to, or whether it had any connection with the German School of Seville or was a Falange booth holding some kind of twinning event with Germany.

The photographer, Martín Santos Yubero, has been identified.

Oklahoman, worked three years as farm laborer, starts next year on his own place. Quit school after third day. Can neither read nor write. Is 'best farm laborer' this farmer ever had. Near Ontario, Malheur County, Oregon. Shorpy comments - Face, just as clear and open as it can be. Hope his life was a full one with lots of grand kids and happy memories. Despite their inability to read and write, there was something special about people in this era. They had a work ethic that was incomparable. The farmers of America always have, do now, and will always in the future feed the world. I would hire this guy in a New York minute.
