The title records Gillette receiving the Boy Scouts' annual support, a moment the National Photo Company captured on April 1, 1920. The firm, based in Washington, D.C., photographed public life there from 1906 to 1932. The Boy Scouts of America had been incorporated only a decade earlier, in 1910, and by 1920 the organization was growing into a national institution that depended on public and private backing. The glass negative shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration of its original coating, which affects its tones and fine detail.
