TIRED WOMAN. In posture and facial expression, this woman seems to be merely acquiescing to being photographed. In contrast, most of John Johnson's subjects seem to be active participants in creating their photographic images.

Photographs taken on black and white glass negatives by African American photographer(s) John Johnson and Earl McWilliams from 1910 to 1925 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Douglas Keister has 280 5x7 glass negatives taken by these photographers. Larger scans available on request.
