The record gives this glass negative a date of March 5, 1923, and titles it "Congressmen leaving Capitol," though that title comes from unverified information the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so the subject is worth treating with some caution. The National Photo Company worked in Washington in the early twentieth century, photographing government buildings, officials, and city life for sale to the public. The plate's surface shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, a common sign of age in glass negatives of this period. Herbert A. French gave the plate to the Library of Congress in 1947.
