Final sojourn

    Color photo of Paul Robeson’s bedroom as it was during his final years. The floor is varnished hardwood. The bed, in the background, has dual bedposts above headboard and footboard, with a white coverlet and a single pillow. A white-painted radiator is under the window. A light brown rocking chair with an embroidered throw pillow is between radiator and bed. On the right wall is a dark-brown chest of drawers. A green lounge chair and two small tables are between the bed and three curtained rear windows.
