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.

This stereograph card depicts a group of young men standing and sitting in a semicircle. Consisting of two similar images side by side, the card is arranged with the images in the center. In the image, the men wear dark colored long sleeved shirts tucked into lighter colored pants. Some wear suspenders. All of them wear broad-brimmed hats. Several young men sit or crouch on the ground in a semicircle, while others stand behind them looking over their shoulders. On the right hand side of the image, one standing individual rests his left hand on the left shoulder of the man kneeling in front of him. The kneeling man turns his heads to the left to gaze towards the viewer. Directly across the circle from him is a man sitting on the ground with his right leg stretched out on the ground in front of him.
