The Dickey tree is the subject of this 1914 glass negative, a detail that sets it apart from the other views on this board. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm active in the early twentieth century, documented the capital and its surroundings in large numbers. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of the period, and the record notes streaks and other blemishes from deterioration in the original coatings, so those marks are part of how the negative looks today.
