This is a photograph of a group of people gathered outside a wooden building. The image shows a scene where a man sitting on an overturned Coca-Cola crate is getting a haircut by another man standing behind him. Nearby, others are seated on the porch steps, with one small child among them. The building has a rustic appearance, with weathered wooden siding and a door with a window. In front of the porch, a metal watering can is visible, and in the background, a few trees and an automobile add to the setting.

Haircut in Front of General Store and Post Office on Marcella Plantation, Mileston, Mississippi

Marion Post Wolcott · 1939 · gelatin silver print ·  Accession ID  2025.44.3

The image depicts a man sitting on the ground with his legs extended in front of him. He is leaning back with one hand for support, while the other arm rests on his knee. His gaze is fixed on the horse in front of him. The man has a rugged face with a short beard and is wearing a cap with a headlamp. He is dressed in work clothes, including a long-sleeve shirt and trousers, paired with worn-out boots. The background shows a dirt-covered ground with pieces of wood scattered around, along with leafless trees and a wagon or mining cart. The horse in front of him is harnessed with patches of lighter fur on its dark coat, with a lead held loosely by the man.

The background shows the log wall of the building, with mud packed between the logs.

This grayscale photograph shows an adobe-style doorway with steps leading up to a cross at the top, set against a sky with a few small clouds. There are low walls on either side of the doorway. The adobe texture appears rough and coarse. Behind the central doorway is another wall or building that is in shadow.
