The caption on this glass negative names Childress, with "Central" and "23" appearing to mark a particular street, building, or position in a series, though the cataloguers flag that label as unverified. The National Photo Company produced many commercial views of American towns in the early twentieth century, and its negatives were often used for postcards and publications. Viewers will notice the streaks and blemishes that come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings on the glass. The negative came to the collection as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947.
