This 1921 glass negative, dated January 28, carries the name John F. Kramer, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the identification is not confirmed. It belongs to the National Photo Company collection, a Washington, D.C., studio that produced large numbers of portraits and views in the early twentieth century, when glass plates were still the standard medium for commercial photography. The record also points to streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coating, which are visible traces of the negative's age. It was donated to the Library of Congress by Herbert A. French in 1947.
