Mrs. Hugh S. Cumming and Miss Diana Cumming sit together in this portrait, dated February 14, 1922. It is one of the many studio sittings the National Photo Company made in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century. The firm's glass negatives recorded the everyday life of a capital city, from society portraits to official occasions, and this sitting reflects the formal posing typical of the period. The glass plate shows the streaks and blemishes that develop as the original coatings deteriorate, so some fine tonal detail may be obscured.
