This is a photograph taken by Howard Liberman for the Office of War Information. It is in the "Farm Security Administration / Office of War Information Black and White Negatives" collection of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division . It is in the public domain (as are the versions of it here).
The version here linked-to is a full resolution PNG that I have created from the original TIFF downloaded from the L of C. Regrettably, for this photograph the highest-resolution digital version available from the Library of Congress is not very high resolution. Since the Library of Congress URLs have changed at least once, instead of citing the URL of the original image, I'll cite the call number.
