Mrs. James and Junetta
c. 1940–1945

A vintage black and white photograph showing an elderly person standing next to a young child. The elderly individual is wearing glasses and a long-sleeved dress or shirt with buttons, while the child is in a light-colored dress with short sleeves and white shoes. Both are looking directly at the camera, with a neutral background that provides no additional context. The photo has a white border typical of old photographs.
