The record identifies this picture as a portrait or scene of Salvador Cordova in Honduras, dated March 27, 1923, though the title and date come from unverified notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The Washington, D.C., studio, active from about 1906 to 1936, photographed visiting dignitaries, officials, and events, and its glass plates capture a widely traveled record of the period. Honduras in the early 1920s was marked by political rivalry and growing United States influence in Central America. The negative shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration of its original coating, which is worth noticing when judging its detail.
