The record names three surnames, Root, Coolidge and Holmes, and a date of June 2, 1924, but notes that this information is unverified and was written on the negative or its sleeve, so the names may not reliably identify the people shown. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, made many glass negatives like this one, recording people and places in the capital. Natural deterioration of the original coating can leave streaks and blemishes on plates of this kind, so some marks on the image come from age rather than from the photographer.
