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 gelatin silver print depicts a black and white image of three soldiers standing on a field of grass in front of several houses. They are dressed in uniforms consisting of light-colored slacks and dress shirts and each have on a brimmed cap. The men to the left and right stand with their hands behind their backs; the man in the center is seated with his forearms resting on his thighs. He holds a document in his hands. All three men are looking at the camera. The homes behind them are a considerable distance away. There is a car infront of the house on the right. On the far right a couple has been captured walking down the street. The print's exposure makes the three men appear much brighter than the rest of the photograph. The photograph has creases approximately 1/2" from the top, bottom, and left edges as if it were to be cropped.
