This large group includes two black contraband wearing white aprons in the center-left of the image and a third young black contraband squatting on the far right. Some of the soldiers wear cavalry jackets. Others in the group appear to be civilians because of their dress. Behind a field of crops is a brick house. Number "102" scratched in the negative. A nearly identical image except with the young black boy squatting in the first row can be seen in .0121.
