- Description:
- One in a series of photographs of bank employees taken in 1955, this negative is marked "Richard Brooks" in pencil along the top side. The number "23" is inscribed on the lower left corner of the negative. The Lane Brothers negative envelope (LBP06-189) is inscribed, "Fulton Nat. Bank, Richard Brooks." This is the only negative in the envelope. A closely cropped version of this negative appeared in "Bank Notes: The Annual Photo Issue, published and printed monthly by and for employees of the Fulton National Bank of Atlanta, Atlanta, Georgia" (December 16, 1955), in the African-American section at the end of the publication, with the caption, "Richard Brooks, Janitor." A copy of this special issue featuring many photographs by the Lane Brothers is in the Lane Brothers Collection (LBDOCS28).
