The Good Fellows club at Eastern High School in Washington, D.C., is the subject of this glass negative, a student group whose specific purpose the record does not describe. It comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington firm that documented the city's streets, buildings and people in the early twentieth century, and the record dates it to 1919 or 1920 based on neighboring negatives in the same series. Look closely at the plate and you will see streaks and blemishes, the natural result of the coating deteriorating over the decades since it was exposed.
