This image is created with black ink on paper. At the left of the image, the side or rear of a brick building is visible, with two flights of stairs leading up to it from the street. To the left of the building is a leafy tree and a series of power lines. In the street, which runs along the left of the sheet, two figures walk. The street moves down a hill, and houses, trees, and a valley can be seen in the background.
This black and white photograph centers on an African American man, dressed in a suit, who holds a tube to his mouth. The tube curves, runs beneath his feet, and connects to a flaming vessel. To the left and the right of the man are wooden crossbeams. One vertical support beam to the left of the figure reads “HAITI” and another reads “65.” In front of those beams, represented in the lower right corner of the image, are two buckets.
This black and white photograph represents a domestic building on an empty street. Powerlines cross above the building, a street corner can be seen in the distance, and a fence with a door can be see in the foreground to its right.
