A community cannery in Asheville, North Carolina, is the subject here, a place where local households could bring fresh produce to be preserved in jars and cans. The image comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that photographed American towns and everyday institutions in the years around 1910 to 1920, and its glass negatives were often made for promotional and civic purposes. The title on this record is taken from data written on the negative or its sleeve, and the date is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same range. Visible streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural deterioration of its original coating.
