A black-and-white photograph by Kenneth Royster of the baptism of Ms. Robinson. There are three (3) figures in the image, all dressed in white and standing in waist-deep water.

The figures on either side of Ms. Robinson are turned in toward her to help guide her out of the water. There is a numerical inscription and a photographer's stamp on the reverse.
