The title on this glass negative pairs the Roosevelt children with a man named John McLerman, though those names come from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative sleeve and have not been independently confirmed. The picture is dated to about 1923, a period when the company's Washington studio made a steady stream of portraits of officials, families and visitors to the capital. The streaks and blemishes visible on the plate come from the natural deterioration of its original coating, so they reflect the negative's age rather than the moment it was taken.
