This glass negative is titled "Tom Hook, Eastern, '24," with the year 1924, though the caption came from the National Photo Company's own notes and has not been verified against other sources. The studio was a Washington, D.C., commercial firm that photographed people, events and places in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates reached the Library of Congress through a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes, which result from the natural deterioration of the original coating on the glass rather than from the scene itself.
