Bob Marrion and a thermometer are the subjects named in the title of this glass negative, though the record does not say where or why the picture was made. The National Photo Company, which worked out of Washington, D.C., produced large numbers of pictures of people, streets and public life in the early twentieth century, and this plate is dated to roughly 1920 to 1921. Herbert A. French gave it to the Library of Congress in 1947. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes, which the catalog attributes to natural deterioration of the original coating on the glass.
