Evening in South Carolina
1947, printed 1950–1951

A black and white illustration depicting an older woman peeling potatoes at a table outside, with a bucket of potatoes and a basket beside her. A younger person in a hat stands to the right, gazing into the distance where a low moon hangs in a dusky sky. A jug and a washbasin rest on a surface near the standing figure. The scene conveys a rustic, tranquil evening atmosphere.
