Two sitters are named in this glass negative's title: Leonard Wood Jr. and his wife, though the record notes that the name comes from unverified information written by the National Photo Company. The studio, based in Washington, D.C., produced portraits and news pictures of officials, families, and visitors in the early twentieth century, and this plate is dated to about 1923 from negatives in the same range. The surface shows streaks and small blemishes from the natural breakdown of the original coating, a common condition in glass plates of this age.
