Description:
A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "11/26/55 Hagerup".
B: Negative in vertical view of a studio interior, with a very young girl seated and shown in half length. She is dressed in a plaid dress over a short sleeved collared shirt with puffed sleeves. Her bangs are cut straight across her forehead, and it looks like the rest is tied at the back. She is facing forward, looking into the camera and smiling, her hands grasping in front of her.
C: Negative in vertical view of the same interior, with a very young boy seated and shown in half length. His short hair is parted right, and he wears a long sleeved sweater over a collared shirt. His body is oriented slightly to the image's left. He looks into the camera, smiling.
D: Negative in vertical view of the young girl from negative "B," arranged identically, but the camera having shifted to the right.
E: Negative in vertical view of the same girl, arranged identically to the previous negative, the camera having shifted even further right.
F: Negative in vertical view of the same girl, arranged identically to the previous negative, but her hands are clasped flat against each other.
G: Negative in vertical view of the same girl, with her hands now at her sides and chin lowered slightly, still gazing into the camera and smiling.
H: Negative in vertical view of the same girl, hands apart again, with her head facing the right of the image. The camera has also shifted back to the left.
I: Negative in vertical view of the same girl and the boy from negative "C," possibly siblings. They are shown in full length standing next to each other, the boy at left and girl at right. The boy's right hand is in his pocket and his left holds the girl's right hand. They both gaze to the right of the camera.
J: Negative in vertical view of the same children, the boy now at right and the girl at left. Their hands are outstretched as if they are about to clap. Both gaze to the left of the camera.
K: Negative in vertical view of the same boy, seated and shown in half length. His body is slightly to the image's right, but his head faces the image's left, his gaze also in that direction. His hands are in his lap.
L: Negative in vertical view of the same boy, still seated and in half length, but the camera shifted around to capture his right side. His body is oriented toward the image's right, but he gazes directly into the camera, hands still in his lap.
M: Negative in vertical view of the same boy, arranged identically to the previous negative.
