Captioned as Conneta arranging a Boy Scout parade on April 16, 1924, this glass negative records a specific local moment, though the title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative itself and has not been independently verified. The company worked in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, photographing street life, public events and official occasions. The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated in 1910, and scout parades were a familiar sight in American cities during the 1920s. The glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from natural deterioration of its original coating, which are worth noticing when judging its clarity.
