The title pairs the name Von Blohaland with a "Dr. E[...]," though the second surname is cut off in the record, so the identities rest on an unverified caption. The date, February 9, 1922, places the plate in the early postwar years, when the National Photo Company was making portraits and pictures of officials, visitors and local events in Washington, D.C. Glass negatives like this one often developed streaks and coating damage as they aged, so the faint marks on the plate reflect natural deterioration rather than anything in the original exposure. The Library of Congress received the negative as a gift in 1947.
