Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. An out-of-focus photograph of Josephine Lacy sitting on the front porch steps of her family's home on West Ninth Street. Josephine Lacy is viewed close-up as she sits at center on the rail lining the front porch steps. She looks to the camera and folds her hands in her lap. The stairs beneath her stretch up and to the left. Behind Josephine, the porch's decorative railing stands elevated from the ground. The porch extends back and to the left where it exits the frame. A neighboring house stands to the right of the Lacy's residence. It is viewed from the side and occupies the background. Text from negative sleeve: 1737. Los Angeles, California, about 1900. West Ninth street; Lacys's home. 1. Josephine Lacy, taken on the steps of the Will Lacy home on West Ninth street, just a few doors west of Figueroa street. 2.
