- Picture postcard of five young dark skinned people leaning through a wood-framed window.The photograph is centered tightly around the window, and in its center is a child in a red shirt leaning on the frame and looking directly to the camera with a serious gaze. Above this child are three others leaning around the child with expressions of slight surprise, disdain, or slyness. Below the child in red is a toddler, dangling one arm out the window and looking ahead. The image is fully colored, naturalistically on the wood grain, with a more graphic feeling on the clothing. The children have been given unnaturally red lips. A caption and brief hand-written message are on the far right.
