The record gives this portrait the nickname "Fog Horn Clancy," a name the National Photo Company recorded from the negative sleeve, though the Library of Congress notes that it has not been verified. The picture dates to May 29, 1923, when the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio known for its large holdings of news and street photography, was making glass negatives across the city. The negative came to the Library as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Viewers should look for the streaks and spots on the image, which the catalogers attribute to natural deterioration of the original glass coatings.
