The title on this glass negative is a name, "McQuade, G.U.," with the year 1919, and the record notes that the title came from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so it has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that made a large body of portraits and street and event photographs in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates were often kept in sleeves like this one. Because the negative was a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947, it reached the collection decades after it was made. Viewers should also expect streaks and blemishes, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings on glass.
