DescriptionThree miscellaneous photographs, mounted on postcard, of unknown men and women.
(.194) In one photograph, two unknown young women are standing together, each holding onto the railing of a house porch. One of the women is wearing a dark colored dress with intricate lace design and has her hair pulled into a bun. The other woman is wearing a long dark skirt, a white shirt, and sweater.
(.195) In another of the photographs, an unknown man is seated in a barber's chair, with legs crossed and with a striped sheet draped over his body, having his hair cut by an unknown barber. The barber is looking at the camera and has a comb and scissors in hand. In the background are a mirror and a counter with various hair-cutting tools and equipment, as well as a cash register, on it.
(.196) Another of the postcard photographs shows an up-close shot of a man's face. The man is wearing a suit jacket, a bowtie, and a straw, brimmed hat. There is an unknown building in the background.
