The sitter is Frank D. Scott of Michigan, a name and state recorded on the negative sleeve. The library notes that this title is unverified, so the identification should be treated with some caution. The negative comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio active in the early decades of the twentieth century that recorded visitors, officials and public life in the capital. It is a glass negative dating from about 1921 to 1922, and its coating has deteriorated, leaving streaks and blemishes that are visible across the image.
