Description

A package of four photographs showing different activities for the families of Fisk employees is the subject of this postcard. The first image, top left, is of a group of women and children at a tent being handed unidentified objects. The second photograph, top right, is of a swing set attached to and hanging from a very large tire. There are children in the swings and some adults standing around the apparatus. The third photograph, bottom left, shows a woman in a hammock hanging from trees and a child reaching up to the hammock. Some of the park's other features are visible in the background. The fourth photograph, bottom right, shows a group of eight children sitting in a pile of sand, some with objects and some without. An adult leans in, as if talking to the children, from the right side of the image. The sandbox appears to be under a tent or roof. The grass and trees have been colorized green in all the photographs.
