Herbert W. Cummings, identified in the record as "of Penna.," sits for a portrait that the National Photo Company recorded on glass around 1923. The title comes from unverified studio data, so the sitter's identity and details of his life remain uncertain. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, and its plates document the portrait and news work of that period. Glass negatives from this era often show streaks and blemishes as their coatings deteriorate, so those marks are a natural part of how this plate looks today.
