Barefoot boy dressed in rags posing on unpaved street in a town, perhaps Condega.  To my mind the most powerful photograph in the Eldred collection, capturing the extreme poverty and quotidian desperation of the rural majority.  No caption.

Caption:  "The Church at Condega used as a barracks for 57th Co. USMC.  Captains tent to left, Hospital tent to right".

Caption:  "Guardia Headquarters, Nicaragua".  Probably the entrance to the Campo de Marte in Managua.

Caption on rear:  "Officers Quarters, Campo de Marte".  Managua.

Urban street scene with pedestrians, an automobile, and workers digging up the street, probably Port-au-Prince, Haiti — suggested by the architecture; the street sign on the building at far left, which seems to read "PLACE VALIÈRE" (a plaza in Port-au-Prince); the two surnames on the business signs (Sperduto and Cordasco, prominent families in Port-au-Prince at the time); and the apparently African phenotype of the people.  Thanks to José Mejía Lacayo for his eagle eye and incisive observations on this photograph, at first erroneously identified here as someplace in Nicaragua.  No caption, no date.

Caption:  "The Capitol of Nicaragua".  Managua.

Three small children by the roadside outside of Condega.  Caption:  "Natives Condega".

Caption:  "Some of the better class of natives at Condega on edge of flying field".
