The record ties this glass negative to the Fannie May Candy Co. and dates it to December 24, 1920, which places it in the Christmas selling season for the Chicago confectioner, founded in 1920. The National Photo Company, a commercial studio that documented businesses, streets and public life across the early twentieth century, made the image, and it reached the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. The catalog notes streaks and blemishes caused by deterioration of the original emulsion coatings, so some marks on the image are damage rather than part of the scene.
