The title names five men, Root, Underwood, Hughes, Lodge, and Mills, and this glass negative is dated October 12, 1921, though the company's own labels were not checked against other records, so the identities and the occasion are best treated as unconfirmed. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, and its negatives record officials, visitors, and public events of the period. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium for large-format work of the time, and their fine detail is often what makes them useful to researchers. Faint streaks and blemishes on the glass are a common result of aging coatings and do not reflect the scene itself.
