  • A black-and-white photo shows what appears to be an enclosed porch with an array of clothing and fabric hanging above a wooden lattice.
  • Two young children appear in an outdoor scene in this sepia-toned photo. The older child lays on the grass in the foreground, while the younger child sits inside a wooden, wheel-less boxcar.
  • A tan-skinned woman wearing a brown buttoned shirt holds a naked baby in her arms. The woman is standing in water up to her chest, smiling and holding the baby so it is just barely touching the water.
  • A young black woman wearing high-waisted pants and a white tank top stands stiffly next to a leather chair for this sepia-toned photo.
