Full-length albumen cabinet card studio portrait of two Black men. El Reno, Oklahoma Territory: Stevenson, n.d. Photographer's imprint to mount recto. Ink inscription to verso reads: "Johnnie Johnson Sr." 

Two handsome young Black men pose in a photographer's studio. Each wears an overcoat, a hat, and a silk tie. A Jonnie Johnson is listed as a porter in the 1930 El Reno, Oklahoma, city directory, possibly one of the subjects of this attractive portrait. 

Stevenson was a photographer in El Reno who produced stereoviews of Native Americans, including the Cheyenne. (Mautz, p. 345). 

Western views of Black subjects are exceedingly scarce.
