The record gives this glass negative only the name W.R. Fuchs, and the library notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the identity of the sitter or subject remains uncertain. The date of about 1923 is inferred from other negatives in the same range. The National Photo Company operated in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, producing commercial images of people, buildings and city life, and its glass negatives later came to the Library of Congress as a gift. Visitors should also notice the faint streaks and blemishes, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coating on the plate.
