notes: label: Description
content: This gelatin silver print is a family portrait of Jackie Robinson and his wife, Rachel Robinson, and their son, Jackie Robinson, Jr. The family sits on brick steps which lead to a bricked landing and window-paned door. Rachel sits closest to the camera on a step lower than Robinson with crossed legs angled towards the right side of the frame; her PR hand rests behind her husband's left knee. She wears a long, patterned dress with a full skirt as well as a white cap sleeved bolero jacket. Robinson sits angled towards the camera with his feet planted apart on the second visible step from the bottom of the photograph. He holds his seated son on his right leg; the child looks off camera and holds his left arm slightly aloft.
