Two men, Jas. F. Oyster and Rudolph Kutz, are named in the title, though the record notes that the names come from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. The negative is dated to 1921 or 1922 by comparison with others in the same group, so the exact day of the sitting is unknown. It belongs to the National Photo Company collection, a Washington, D.C., studio that documented local residents, officials and events in the early twentieth century. Streaks and blemishes on the glass are likely the result of the original coating deteriorating over time, a common condition for negatives of this age.
