Dated March 15, 1924, this glass negative is identified only by its title, "F.C. Quinby, 3/15/24," and the record does not explain who Quinby was or what the picture shows, so the subject remains unconfirmed. The negative comes from the National Photo Company Collection, the work of a commercial studio that photographed people, buildings and events, largely in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century. Its surface shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of the original coatings, a common condition in glass plates of this age that reminds viewers how fragile these records are.
