{"value"=>"<p>This series contains all the prints in the collection. The majority of negatives in the collection never had accompanying positive images produced from them. The Proof Prints and Unfixed Proof Prints contain those surviving few that were produced.</p> <p>The Unfixed Proof Prints contain the small quantity of commercial portrait proofs that, though intentionally left minimally fixed in the development process in order to render them temporary, still show a readable, if deteriorated, image.</p> <p>The Selections prints are the only enlarged photographic prints in the collection. All Selections prints measure 8x10 inches. Some were printed by Cecil Layne and bear his studio's credit stamp and others were printed posthumously around 1998. Selections prints include a file of Harlem street scenes; portraits of Bayard Rustin; and Eartha Kitt and Harry Belafonte each performing at the Harlem YMCA.</p>"}
