A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "4/15/54 Messerschmidt".
B: Negative in vertical view of a boy in a suit and tie, leaning over the back of an upholstered chair, with his hands folded over it. His gaze is slightly toward the right, past the camera. He smiles slightly.
C: Negative in vertical view of a different boy, dressed in a suit and a collared shirt without a tie, the collars spread over the lapels of his jacket. He sits in three quarter view with his hands folded in his lap, looking toward the camera.
D: Negative in vertical view of the same boy, this time leaning on the back of an upholstered chair, his hands folded over it.
E: Negative in vertical view of the first boy with the tie, seated on a cushioned ottoman with his hands folded over the back of an upholstered chair. He is shown in semi—profile, the camera being positioned slightly to his left.

G: Negative in vertical view of the second boy, again leaning over the back of the upholstered chair, hands folded.
H: Negative in vertical view of the same boy, positioned identically to the previous negative. The camera has come around to his left side, showing his seated position on the cushioned ottoman.
