A portrait of Mrs. Mary Walt Schwab, a name recorded on the negative sleeve by the National Photo Company, though the record notes that the identification is unverified. The image dates to about 1921 and was made on a glass plate, a format that recorded fine detail but was fragile over time. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that worked for several decades in the early twentieth century, producing portraits and documenting the city's people and events. Streaks and blemishes on this negative come from the natural deterioration of its original coating, so the wear on the plate is part of its history alongside the sitter's face.
