Labeled as a physiotherapy story at Walter Reed, the Army medical center in Washington, D.C., this glass negative appears to document rehabilitation work during the early 1920s, when the hospital was treating many veterans wounded in World War I. Exercise and therapeutic treatment to restore movement were becoming a recognized part of military medicine then. The image comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio whose negatives record the city's institutions and daily life. The title is unverified, and the faint streaks across the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
