DESCRIPTION
Original vintage black-and-white photograph of an African American woman holding a baby in a mid-century American home.
This is an original vintage photographic print, not a modern reproduction. The photograph captures an intimate everyday family moment, with the woman seated indoors holding an infant while another person appears partially in the foreground.
The photograph contains a number of useful period details, including:
* African American woman and infant
* Early/mid-20th-century family life
* Vintage furniture and upholstered seating
* Framed artwork
* Decorative hanging light fixture
* Books and household objects
* Period clothing and hairstyle
* Candid domestic setting
* Original photographic paper and border
PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTENT
The photograph appears to document an ordinary family or social gathering rather than a formal studio portrait. That gives it particular appeal as vernacular photography documenting African American domestic life in the late 1960s.
The identity of the woman, child and other individuals is unknown. No location or photographer is identified, so those details are not being speculated about.
CONDITION
Vintage original photograph with age-related wear, surface marks, scratches, fading and tonal deterioration.
There are visible areas of discoloration and photographic wear throughout the print, including heavier deterioration in portions of the image.
The photograph is being sold as found and has not been digitally restored.
Please examine all photographs carefully for condition and details.
