Arthur James Balfour, the British statesman, and Sir Auckland Geddes, then Britain's ambassador to the United States, are the subjects of this glass negative dated February 5, 1922. Balfour was in Washington that winter as part of the British delegation to the Washington Naval Conference, which ran from late 1921 into early 1922 and aimed to limit naval arms among the major powers. The National Photo Company, a Washington studio that documented officials and public events in the 1910s and 1920s, made the image. Streaks and blemishes on the plate come from natural deterioration of the original coating.
