Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
A gelatin silver print of a black family in South Carolina. The three adults stand furthest from the camera; (from left to right) the father, mother, and grandmother of the family. The mother holds an infant in her arms; the father rests his hands on the shoulders of the smallest standing child, a girl. The tallest child, a boy, stands to the far right adjacent to his grandmother; the remaining child, a boy, stands slightly front and left of his brother in a ripped shirt. The background of the family portrait appears to be the wood paneled side of the family's cabin.
