African American children - Description:
- Torso-length portrait of a dark skinned toddler with curly hair and chubby cheeks, eyes open wide and mouth ajar, facing the camera but looking slightly upward and to the left. The child is reclining slightly in a plaid dress, with chubby little fists at their waist. The child's head is in full, rich contrast and detail, while their body is less defined. Their lower body fades into the image's blank background. A brief caption and copyright information is printed at the bottom of the card.
