Little is recorded about this glass negative beyond its label, "Co. D., Eastern," and a date of May 23, 1923, which the National Photo Company supplied without independent verification. The company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, and its work included portraits, public events and organized groups, so this plate likely belongs to that record of gatherings. Worth noticing are the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which come from the natural deterioration of its original coating rather than from the moment of exposure.
