The record gives this view the title Ferguson, a name the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, but the library has not verified it, so the subject remains open. It is a glass plate, the format commercial studios relied on in the 1920s for sharp detail. Streaks and blemishes across its surface come from the gradual decay of the original coatings, a reminder of how fragile these negatives are. Herbert A. French gave the plate to the Library of Congress in 1947.
