The only name attached to this negative is Herbert E. French, and the cataloguers note that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the identity of the subject is still uncertain. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial firm that recorded the city's streets, buildings and events in the early twentieth century, and this glass plate dates to roughly 1912 to 1930. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes that the record attributes to deterioration of the original coating, a common condition in glass negatives of this age.
