The caption gives the name Masanao Harrihara, but that title comes from unverified caption data on the negative or its sleeve, so the spelling and identity should be treated as provisional. The date, February 19, 1923, is taken from a related negative in the collection. The plate belongs to the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that made portraits and press pictures in the early twentieth century. Worth noticing are the streaks and blemishes that the record attributes to natural deterioration of the original coatings, a common sign of glass plates of this age.
