Description

Four postcard images collected from Yoruba photographers. They are all black and white images. The left image is a portrait of a couple posed in a seated position. They wear traditional African attire. The woman in the right image wearing matching skirts with very similar tops. They stand and they looking into the camera. They both wear sunglasses, headwear, and jewelry. The image on the bottom left is of a baby. The portrait of the baby has the baby sitting on a piece of cloth; the baby does not look at the camera. The image on the bottom right is also a baby portrait. The baby does not wear clothes besides a diaper, but wears a furry hat and clothes wrapped around its feet. The patterned blanket does not fill up the background as a backdrop of a dock is pictured in the back.
