Calvin Coolidge, who had taken office as president in August 1923 after Warren Harding's death, is the figure this 1924 glass negative records, dated May 25, 1924, which was Memorial Day. The occasion was the observance at Arlington National Cemetery, where presidents traditionally marked the day by honoring the nation's war dead. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a commercial Washington studio whose work documented government officials and public events in the early twentieth century. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from deterioration of the original coating over time.
