Clara Sears Taylor is the only sitter named in this record, and her name is the main clue to what this glass negative shows, though the record itself gives no further detail about her life or the occasion. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a large body of work produced by a Washington, D.C. studio that made portraits and commercial views in the early twentieth century. Its date, May 8, 1923, comes from information the company itself wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and it has not been independently verified. The negative entered the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947, and its surface shows streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which is common in glass plates of this age.
