A portrait of the Rev. Thos. C. Clark survives on a small glass negative, likely made around 1923, as the title and date were supplied by the National Photo Company. That firm worked in Washington, D.C., and its glass negatives record the city's public figures, institutions and street life in the early twentieth century. The title came from unverified company data, so the sitter's identity and career are not confirmed here. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural deterioration of the original coating, a common condition for negatives of this age.
