This collection consists of 28 studio portraits (gelatin silver prints). Numerous portraits were taken at Stephenson and Cox Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. The majority of these photographs are in fair to good condition with minor image coloring. Also, within this collection, there are 8 gelatin silver prints, which are in poor condition due to cracked mounts, fading, and silver mirroring.
