O-Jib-Be-Ways, George Catlin, lithograph
In this black and white, round-format print, the scene is dominated by a wooden armature surroudning the ribs of a ship that is under construction. Five figures work throughout the composition on building the ship--three on the ground and two on the portion of the armature at the back right of the composition. At the bottom of the print is a still life that includes tools related to ship building, including wood and woodworking implements.
In this black and white photograph, a woman sits to the right of a door, holding a young, blonde child in her arms. The child holds her head and curls her legs on the woman's lap. The woman has dark hair and is wearing a sleeveless dress and one shoe. She is smiling broadly. The black and white photograph is adhered to a buff mount.
This black and white photograph shows a view looking down at grasses. Some are straight but most are curled, and the grasses extend from the left to the right side of the composition and from the top to the bottom of the composition.
