Large Photographic Class Portrait of an African-American High School Class from Norfolk, Virginia

[Norfolk, Virginia, 1890. Unbound. Near Fine. Large gelatin silver portrait. Image measuring 13¾" x 9½" laid-down onto a 16" x 11" thick card mount. No captions or other identifying markings but strong anecdotal evidence and provenance suggests the class was from Norfolk, Virginia. Slight silvering at the extremities, else near fine. 11 neatly dressed young men standing behind 13 seated young women, all looking particularly studious and somber. A larger than usual class portrait.
