The subject here is the University of Maryland campus at College Park, a school that grew out of the state's land-grant agricultural college and whose grounds were still taking shape in the 1910s and early 1920s. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that made a large body of commercial views of American towns, buildings and institutions on glass plates. The catalog title was supplied later and is unverified, so the exact view is uncertain. Visible streaks and blemishes in the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating, which is typical of negatives from this period.
