Brockton, Massachusetts, a city long known for shoe manufacturing, is the place named in this glass negative, which is labeled "Mass. Society, #3" and credited to Frank A. Manning. The National Photo Company's title data is unverified, so the subject and occasion are not confirmed. The plate is dated to about 1923 from negatives in the same range, a period when the company photographed American towns and events on a large scale. The streaks and blemishes visible on the glass come from natural deterioration of the original coating over time.
