The subject is the 15th U.S. Cavalry, a mounted regiment of the U.S. Army, though the title is a label the National Photo Company wrote on the negative and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, known for military scenes, government subjects and city views sold to newspapers and the public. Horse cavalry was giving way to motorized transport during these decades, so pictures like this one record a tradition at a time of change. Because the image is on glass, its surface may show streaks or other blemishes from age.
