A portrait of a man identified in the record as Dr. Albert Hassall survives here as a 4 by 5 inch glass negative, a format that produced sharp, detailed images. The title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the library has not verified it, so the sitter's identity should be treated as provisional. The date, around 1922, is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same group. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that recorded the city's people and events in the early decades of the twentieth century. Herbert A. French gave the collection to the Library of Congress in 1947. Faint streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of the original coating.
