From the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Crowe (Milburn J.) Photograph Album Collection. Four black-and-white portraits. Each photograph is in a rounded cut-out with a simple line border and the overall page has a line border with floral decorations in the corners. The top-left is a portrait of an African American teenager or young man sitting and facing the camera. He is wearing a dark, unbuttoned suit jacket with a light-colored shirt underneath, as well as dark pants. He has a light-colored handkerchief in his right breast pocket and a chain pinned to his jacket. His hands are resting on his thighs. His dark hair is in a short-cropped style. The top corners of the image are tucked into the page's opening. The top-right is a portrait of a girl facing the camera. She is wearing light-colored clothes with two large stripes running down the sides of the chest and medium-sized buttons down the chest's center. She has a dark-colored bow-tie and necklace with an oval pendant around her neck. Her hair is somewhat dark and is in a half-up hairstyle, pulled away from her face. There are dark smudges around her head. The bottom-right is a portrait of a sitting woman and a girl standing to her right. The woman is wearing a lighter-colored dress with ruffles along the cuffs and jacket bottom and large buttons down the center of the chest. She has a blue kerchief around her shoulders. Her dark hair is pulled back and there is a decorative hair piece on her head. She is also wearing dangling earrings. Her right arm is by her side and left hand is resting in her lap. The girl is wearing a light-colored dress with a polka dot-patterned underskirt seen from calf-height and below. Her dark hair is styled in a high bun with a blue ribbon tied at the top. Her left hand rests by her side and right hand rests on the woman's left shoulder. The bottom-left is a portrait of a woman sitting and holding a standing child against her left hip, the image has a red border. The woman is the same from the bottom-right portrait. Her right arm is around the young girl and her hands are interlaced in front of the girl.
