Description
Portraits of children from the Avery Studio in Frenchtown, Tallahassee located on Virginia Street and operated by Joseph H. Avery Jr. Avery captured the African-American community in Tallahassee, more specifically "classy women, zoot-suited men,... persons of distinction" and as seen through this set, children, during the Jim Crow era when rarely other studios provided this service. He moved to Jacksonville in 1950, and later on to Washington, D.C. in the early 1960s, where he became the first Black photographer for the U.S. House of Representatives.
