This glass negative records a casket labeled as the work of William Demaine and Son, with the date July 9, 1923, though the maker's name is marked as unverified in the record. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, produced large numbers of plates like this one, and the collection came to the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes across the surface, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings rather than from the scene itself.
