The address 3926 Morrison Street, Northwest, paired with the title "Times," sets this plate apart, though the record notes the title comes from unverified information written on the negative or its sleeve. The glass negative belongs to the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that documented Washington's streets, buildings and businesses in the early twentieth century, and its plates are a valuable record of neighborhood life around the close of World War I. Look closely and you may see the streaks and blemishes that the original coatings developed as the glass aged, which are part of the object's physical history.
