“Unemployed”

To describe the content of the photograph I can notice that it includes a man, a dog, street and a fog. The picture was taken black and white and the position of the man and the dog on the photograph is centred. The fog creates specific atmosphere of loneliness, misery and uncertainty.

The picture was taken from high angle and originates in England, 1930s. The title of the photo makes reference to the times it was taken in, when the country faced financial crisis and experienced high unemployment rates. I can guess that the function or purpose of the image is to show desperation, lack of stability as well as difficulty with making a decent living for people who were unemployed and struggled financially during the crisis of 1930s.
