The subject here is a military band of the 15th U.S. Cavalry, a regiment that served in the early twentieth century and whose bandsmen were a familiar sight at post ceremonies, parades and public concerts. The photographer is not named in the record; the title comes from caption data supplied by the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. studio that documented people, places and events across the country between about 1910 and 1930. The plate is a glass negative, and the surface shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, so the image is softer than a print made when the glass was new.
