A glass negative titled "Sims Ely" and dated May 10, 1922, is the specific record here, though the catalog notes that the title comes from unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The company, based in Washington, D.C., produced a large body of studio and street photographs in the early twentieth century. Glass plates were a common working medium for decades before flexible film replaced them, and surviving examples often show the kind of streaks and blemishes noted here, which come from the gradual breakdown of the original coatings.
