Signed by Bubley in pen, with her stamp and other notations on the verso. Roy Stryker, coordinator of the FSA project and then the Office of War Information, arranged for Bubley and other photographers to document oil-powered transportation. This is from her series dealing with ordinary travelers at the Greyhound Bus Station. You can see how influential these are on some later photographers. The husband and wife each look off in different directions.
