The record identifies this glass negative as a picture of George Wertz of Pennsylvania, dated October 19, 1923, though the title comes from unverified data that the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The company was a Washington, D.C., commercial firm that photographed people, places, and events for decades, and its negatives were usually made on glass plates like this one. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947. Visible streaks and blemishes come from the natural breakdown of the original coating, so they are a sign of the plate's age and not something added later.
