    DescriptionTwo identical black and white photographs of Jeff Davis in a suit sporting a bow tie posed with his right foot forward. Printed at bottom part of mat is FF: "H.A. Shinn 120 1/2 Main St., Little Rock, Ark."

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
