The title pairs a name, Keefer, with a cannon connected to Braddock, a reference that points to Alexandria's ties to the British general Edward Braddock, whose 1755 campaign and the road named for him are part of the city's early history. The picture was made between 1916 and 1917 by the National Photo Company, a Washington firm that produced views of American cities and landmarks for sale as souvenir postcards and prints. The glass negative shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of photographs from that era and worth noticing when studying the image.
