The record gives the title "Piercy, Boston" and a date of 1924, though the place name comes from information written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm active in the early twentieth century, produced many commercial and press views of American cities, and its glass negatives later entered the Library of Congress. Herbert A. French gave this example to the library in 1947. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes, which the catalogers attribute to natural deterioration of the original coatings.
