A black woman looks out a window of a wooden house at a second woman and two young children who stand on the side of the house. The caption reads: "Those two little children are with their granny who is smoking her pipe. The girl looking on from the window is the belle of Shacktown. Wooden blocks have been put under the house for it to stand on. Such foundations are common in the south."

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
