Catalogued as number 45321 and dated January 30, 1924, this is a glass negative from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that documented the city's streets, officials, and public occasions in the early twentieth century. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of the period, holding fine detail that was developed and printed by hand. The record notes natural deterioration in the original coating, so streaks and blemishes may appear in prints made from it, a reminder of how fragile these early negatives are.
