African American women -- Kansas -- Photographs

This collection consists of photographic prints and tintypes of African Americans, taken in eastern Kansas in the latter half of the 19th century. The posed and informal portraits had been compiled into an album that has been disbound due to severe deterioration. Images include individuals and groups of babies, children, and adults; most of the photographs were taken in studios and are posed in exterior or interior settings.

This portrait is of Ruth Gwendolyn Gregg, an African American and a Kansan. The photograph was made by Stanback Studios.
