This glass negative records Major Maurice E. Shearer, though the title comes from unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The date, September 28, 1922, is taken from a related negative in the collection. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., made many portraits and news pictures in the early twentieth century, and Herbert A. French gave these plates to the Library of Congress in 1947. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes, which the record attributes to natural deterioration of the original coating.
