Martha Ellis is the named subject of this glass negative, though the title "on Beaulare" comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the record does not confirm its meaning. The company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active from about the early 1900s into the 1930s, made a large body of portraits and views, and its plates were usually filed with only brief captions. The date of about 1920 is an estimate based on neighboring negatives rather than on this plate itself. The streaks and blemishes across the surface come from the natural deterioration of the original coatings, not from the scene.
