Description:
A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "5/8/54 Isaacs".
B: Negative in vertical view of a man, woman, and an infant of undetermined gender. They are seated on stools, with the man in the rear and the woman in front of him holding the baby. The man is dressed in a suit and the woman in a collared blouse and skirt. The baby wears some kind of coverall. They are positioned toward the right, looking slightly in that direction as well.
C: Negative in vertical view of the same family, this time more in a three—quarter view portrait. They are positioned the same way, but the woman holds the infant closer to her, basically touching it to her right cheek.
D: Negative in vertical view of the same family, again in three—quarter view. They are smiling more widely this time and the baby is held again at chest level rather than to the woman's face.
E: Negative in vertical view of the same family, again in three—quarter view. The woman holds the baby straighter, with its back to her and its front facing the camera more fully.
F: Negative in horizontal view of the same family, this time seated in front of a padded tabletop. The man and woman are seated next to each other, the woman at left and man at right. The woman holds the baby horizontally, facing the man. Both gaze down at the baby, smiling.
G: Negative in horizontal view of the same family, positioned the same way. This time, all are facing the camera, and the man and woman smile slightly.
H: Negative in horizontal view of the same family, positioned at the table. This time, the man holds the baby horizontally, with the baby facing the woman, who holds in her right hand a rattle. Both are looking down at the baby, who faces the camera.
I: Negative in horizontal view of the same family, positioned in the same way, except that this time the baby is looking at the rattle in the woman's right hand.
J: Negative in horizontal view of the same family, seated in adjacent chairs in three—quarter view with the infant on a raised stool or tabletop between them, Each of them holds the baby up, facing the camera. The man is seated on the left and the woman on the right.
K: Negative in vertical view of just the infant, lying with its belly on the padded tabletop, hands down, keeping the head up, and looking slightly to the left.
L: Negative in vertical view of the same infant, lying in the same position, but this time looking farther to the left.
