The Cranford Paving Co. is named on this glass negative, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from data recorded by the National Photo Company and has not been independently verified. The plate is dated between 1918 and 1928, a decade when paved roads were rapidly reshaping American towns and cities. It belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a body of commercial work from a Washington, D.C., studio that photographed businesses, people and public events. The record also warns of streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of the original coatings, a common sign of glass negatives of this age.
