A black and white photograph of a family of five standing on a wooden porch. From left to right, there are three children and two adults. The children are wearing casual clothes, with two girls flanking a younger boy in the center. The man on the right is shirtless and wearing pants, leaning slightly on the porch railing. The wooden structure of the house appears weathered, and there's a towel hanging on the railing to the left. The family gazes directly at the camera with neutral expressions.

A black and white photograph capturing a woman standing in a doorway holding a baby, with a reflective window to her left showing the image of a child outside and various items displayed inside the shop. The photo has a signature at the bottom right corner.

Black and white photograph of a man wearing a cap and a white T-shirt, standing in a room with a window and a jacket hanging on the wall. The man is looking upwards with a slight smile, and there is a signature at the bottom right of the image.

A black and white photograph depicting an elderly person lying in a traditional four-poster bed in a rustic room with wooden walls. A framed portrait of a figure hangs on the wall above a small, framed religious text. The bedding is white and contrasts with the dark wood of the bed and walls. The image includes a signature at the bottom right corner.

A black and white photograph of a miner standing at the entrance of a building, wearing a hard hat with a headlamp, and a dirtied work uniform. He appears to be taking a break or posing for the photo, with a serious expression on his face.

Two coal miners stand at the entrance of a mine shaft. The miner on the left is leaning slightly with his hands on his hips, wearing a headlamp on his helmet, and looking off to the side. The miner on the right stands straight, also with a headlamp on his helmet, looking directly at the camera. Both are wearing work-worn overalls and boots, indicative of a day's work underground.

A black and white photograph depicting an old, weathered two-story wooden house with a porch. The house is situated on a slope with lush vegetation in the foreground and a dense forest in the background. There are power lines visible to the right, and another building can be seen further up the hill. The image is signed "Milton Rogovin" at the bottom right.

Two miners taking a break, sitting on rocks, with one looking at the camera and the other with his eyes closed, possibly resting. Both are wearing work clothes and helmets with headlamps.

A black and white photo of a smiling woman with voluminous hair holding a fluffy dog. They are indoors, with wood-paneled walls, a framed picture, patterned curtains, and a potted plant in the background.

A black and white photograph of a coal miner standing in front of a wooden structure with a chalkboard displaying work-related information. The miner is wearing a hard hat with a headlamp and is covered in coal dust, reflecting a day's work.
