The record calls this one "Palace Laundry," a title the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, though the Library of Congress notes that it has not verified that label. The image is a glass negative from the company's collection, dated to the years between 1918 and 1928, a period when the firm was documenting Washington, D.C., and its surroundings for commercial sale. Glass plates of this kind were prized for their sharp detail, and the negative's surface shows the streaks and blemishes that come with decades of natural deterioration in the original coatings. The plate reached the Library through a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French.
