The name on this glass negative, Fussel Young Ice Cream Co., is the most specific detail in its record, though the National Photo Company's title on the negative sleeve has not been independently verified. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company's body of work, produced by a commercial studio in Washington, D.C. that recorded local businesses and street life in the decades around 1920. Glass plates were the standard medium for such commercial jobs at the time, and the surface streaks and blemishes noted here come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings, which are now part of the negative's history.
