Labeled a bathing beach parade and dated July 26, 1919, this glass negative captures a summer event whose details rest on notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative itself rather than on independent verification. The company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, photographed news events and street life for newspapers and clients, and its plates offer a close look at public leisure in the years after World War I. Worth noticing are the streaks and blemishes the library mentions, which stem from natural deterioration of the glass's original coatings.
