A group of men and women posed on a set of steps before an unnamed building anchors this glass negative, though the record does not identify them. The plate is dated August 2, 1922, based on information the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and that date has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, produced large numbers of plates documenting the city's streets, institutions and residents. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which likely result from natural deterioration of the original coatings.
