The title on this glass negative reads H. Sulami-Rasiie, but the name comes from unverified information written on the negative or its sleeve, so the identity of the person or subject remains uncertain. The negative is dated between 1918 and 1920, a period when the National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., was producing large numbers of commercial glass negatives. Visitors may notice streaks and blemishes across the surface, which result from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings over time. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
