A black-and-white unused photographic postcard of the Cleveland Colored Quintet. Five (5) men are pictured standing in a row in front of a wood paneled wall wearing suits and neckties. They hold, from left to right, a baritone horn, an alto saxophone, a book, a violin, and a soprano saxophone. The man at center holding the book points his right finger at the camera. The AZO paper manufacturer's mark is printed in the upper right corner on the verso as well as text indicating sections for a message and an address to be filled out by hand.
