The subject here is the Havoline Oil Co., a company identified by the name on the negative sleeve, though the record notes that this title has not been independently verified. Havoline was a motor oil brand, and the negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, whose Washington, D.C., studio produced commercial and documentary work in the early twentieth century. The record dates the negative to between 1910 and 1935, a period when automobiles and motor oil were becoming common in American daily life. The glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of photographs from this era.
