This glass negative is one of the few in the collection that pairs a formal honorific, "Hon.," with a full set of initials, H.J. McKeon, and a date of November 22, 1923. The title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and that information has not been independently verified, so the sitter's identity should be checked against other sources. The company was a commercial studio that made many portraits and news photographs of public figures and events in the nation's capital during the early twentieth century. Visible streaks and blemishes come from the deterioration of the original glass coatings, which is common in negatives of this age.
