- Description
- A black-and-white photograph of Trenchtown Sound System.
- There is a man on the proper left side of the image. He is wearing a short sleeve collared shirt with the buttons undone and plaid pants. He is holding a microphone in his right hand and the chord in his left hand. He is wearing large headphones and is singing into the microphone. His eyes are mostly closed and he has a beard and mustache. There is a woman to his proper right side. He is holding a bottle in her left hand and her right hand is in a fist as if she is dancing. There are six (6) men in the background. There is music equipment to the right side of the singer.
- Each image has a white border around it. The borders are thicker on the tops and bottoms and thinner on the sides. The border on 2015.132.163.2 is slightly thicker because the image is slightly smaller. The back of 2015.132.163.1 is white. There is an inscription going vertically down the left side in blue ink, handwritten by Bill Adler. The back of 2015.132.163.2 has two Kodak logos repeated in gold. The logos are in diagonal lines and are facing the right side of the paper.
