Model in Red Robe, Harriet Murray, acrylic on artist board

Holding the Line at All Hazards, William Gilbert Gaul, oil on canvas

A number of small desks, a long blackboard, and a pot-bellied iron stove fill a large open classroom. The walls, ceiling and floors all appear to be surfaced in the same wooden boards.

This black-and-white photograph shows the inside of a courthouse. Well-dressed black men stand at left and policemen stand at right.
