Two men, Ernest L. Jachuke and Wm. D. Bergman, are named in the title of this glass negative, dated April 1, 1929. The National Photo Company, a commercial studio based in Washington, D.C., recorded the names and date on the negative or its sleeve, though the details have not been independently verified. The firm's work included portraits, street scenes, and public events, so the sitters may have been paying clients or people caught up in a local occasion. The streaks and blemishes across the glass come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings over the decades.
