- A black-and-white photograph of Vincent “Vince” Jacobs and three of his sons against a wooded background. Jacobs stands second from the left. He is wearing a dark jacket over a white collared shirt, jeans, and a medium-toned Stetson hat. He is facing the viewer with his hands in his jacket pockets. The man to his left is wearing a medium-colored, button-down, plaid shirt, a sheepskin lined leather jacket, jeans, and a dark toned Stetson hat. He is facing the viewer with his hands in his front jeans pockets, slightly behind Jacobs. The man to the right of Jacobs is wearing a light-colored, plaid, long-sleeve shirt over a white tee-shirt, a vest with diagonal stripes on the shoulders, and jeans. He is facing the viewer with his hands in his front jeans pockets almost entirely behind Jacobs. On the far right is a man wearing a light-colored, plaid, long-sleeve shirt over a white tee-shirt, and dark jeans. He is facing the viewer with his thumbs in his back pockets.
