Some images in this collection are described in groups; others are described individually. In some cases, all of the images in the group display online, in other cases they do not.

You can download online images yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types.

- Look in the Medium field above to determine whether the description is for one photograph or more than one.
- If the description is for a single item and it is displaying, you can download or purchase a print. Cite the number that begins with "LC-DIG..." when purchasing copies through Library of Congress Duplication Services.
- If the description is for more than one item and there is a "Click for more images" icon displaying, select that. Individual images will display; you can download or purchase prints. Cite the number that begins with "LC-DIG..." when purchasing copies through Library of Congress Duplication Services.
