- Description:
- Four views of a stand for taking criminal suspect photographs. The top two views show an adjustable wooden stool next to a wooden stand with a rigid white flag with sample date/time text on it. The bottom two panels show on the right, a light skinned, mustachioed man seated next to the wooden stand with the white flag in front of his chest, and on the left, the same setup without the man. The seat in the lower right photo is not the stand from the top two images, it is instead a narrow wooden chair that looks as though it contains some measuring devices and folds up.
- Notes:
- Gelatin silver prints mounted on card.
