A pair of names, Gillette and Wm. Fyler Page, identifies this glass negative, though the record notes that the title came from unverified data supplied by the National Photo Company. That studio worked in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, and its plates document city streets, public life, and the people who passed through it. Dated December 5, 1922, the negative is a small plate, five by seven inches or smaller, and it shows the streaks and blemishes that develop as the original emulsion coatings deteriorate over time.
