A picture of Miss Sophia Walderman, dated February 14, 1923 in the caption data, stands out on this board as the only one named for a single sitter. It was made on a glass negative, a format widely used by commercial studios of the period, which recorded fine detail but was fragile. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial firm active in the early twentieth century, produced work like this for clients and the public. Faint streaks and blemishes on the plate come from the natural breakdown of its original coating, a common condition in glass negatives of this age.
