Unlike many plates on this board, this one carries the names "Sanford & Taft" and the date November 7, 1923, as written by the National Photo Company on the negative or its sleeve. The company was a commercial studio in Washington, D.C., that photographed the city's streets, buildings, and residents for decades, and its glass negatives later came to the Library of Congress as a gift. The record describes the title as unverified, so the subject itself remains uncertain. Visitors may notice streaks and small blemishes, which result from the emulsion coating on the glass deteriorating over time.
