A portrait of the Rev. Jiles B. Cooke, dated October 30, 1923, survives here as a small glass negative, a format commonly used by studio photographers in the early twentieth century. It belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a body of work produced by a Washington, D.C., firm known for portraits and news pictures of the era. The record's title comes from data written on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified, so the identification rests on that label. A 1947 gift from Herbert A. French brought the glass into the Library of Congress. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes, which the catalog attributes to the natural deterioration of the original coating.
