The record names a Society of American Wars gathering dated May 4, 1924, though the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., in the 1910s and 1920s, recording public ceremonies, civic groups, and street scenes that were sold as prints and postcards. Its glass negatives were donated to the Library of Congress, and some show streaks and blemishes from the breakdown of their original coatings, which is worth noting when judging the image's clarity.
