The record dates this glass negative to December 1, 1923, and titles it as a game between Marine Corps and Army football teams, a service rivalry that drew strong crowds in the early 1920s. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that recorded local events and public life in the early twentieth century, made the negative, and the Library of Congress holds it in its collection. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which the catalogers attribute to deterioration of the original coatings. Those flaws are part of what the negative shows about how such plates aged over time.
