A rare real photographic postcard (RPPC) captures two armed African American police officers or prison guards, standing alongside two unidentified men, possibly supervisors, ca. 1910s. The guards are in uniform, holding rifles, and positioned in front of a guardhouse, with a backdrop of a rural or small-town setting. The image highlights the historical role of African Americans in law enforcement or correctional roles during the early 20th century, making it an important piece of social and cultural history.
