The name on this glass negative, F.C. Quinby, comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the plate or its sleeve, and the record flags that information as unverified, so it is a lead rather than a confirmed identification. The negative is dated March 15, 1924, from the years when the Washington, D.C., firm was busy documenting city life, officials, and visitors on glass plates. Glass negatives like this one captured fine detail, but aging coatings often left streaks and blemishes, and some of those marks are visible here.
