Bob McDonogh, the driver named in this glass negative, is shown as the winner of a 250-mile automobile race held in late October 1925. Races of this length were a major draw in the 1920s, when speedway and board-track events filled grandstands and drew heavy press coverage. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm that supplied news photographs to newspapers across the country. Look for the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from natural deterioration of the original coating and are part of the negative's physical history.
