Little is recorded about this glass negative beyond its title, which names Lucian W. Parris and places him in Texas. It was made by the National Photo Company, a commercial studio whose views were sold to the public in the late 1910s and early 1920s. The date, roughly 1918 to 1921, is inferred from other negatives in the same group rather than from the image itself. Viewers should also note the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which come from the original coating deteriorating over time rather than from anything in the scene.
