- A movie still of a scene from The Emperor Jones. Depicted are four men. Starting from the left, the first man is dressed very formally while he is holding a coat in both his hands and looking over to his left. The second man, standing in the center of the frame, is looking straight ahead while he holds a glass in his right hand. He wears black boots that stop right below his knee caps. To the left of him are two men. They are dressed identically to the first man depicted. One of the men appears to be adjusting a piece of clothing on the second man depicted while the fourth man to the far right of the photograph is watching. Written in the bottom border of the photograph it says "John Krimsky and Gifford Cochran present Paul Robeson in "The Emperor Jones"/ United Artists Picture Made in U.S.A." On the back of the photo, in the top middle section is a rectangular piece of tape. There is writing on the back.
