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 silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of three young siblings standing on pavement in Central Park. Two sisters are standing on either side of their brother, each of them holding his hand, while standing sideways with their heads turned behind them. Each sister is wearing a flower-patterned dress, white socks, and black shoes. The brother is the only one facing forward but his gaze is not directed at the camera. He is wearing a horizontally striped shirt with dark color pants, a dark color belt, and presumably black shoes. In the upper left quadrant of the image is a partial view of someone’s proper right backside. There are no inscriptions on the front of the photograph. The back of the photograph has numerical inscriptions from the photographer.
