The record gives this glass negative the title "July Chester," which the National Photo Company applied to the negative or its sleeve but which has not been verified, so it may name a person, a place, or simply a label from the company's files. The negative is dated to about 1920, when the firm, based in Washington, D.C., was producing large numbers of glass plates of city streets, public events, and portraits. Like many plates of this age, it shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration of its original coating, which is part of what makes these negatives a record of their physical history as well as their images.
