Few pictures on this board are as specific about their sitter as this one, which names Mrs. Edith Ogden Heidel directly in its title. It is a glass negative from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that produced portraits and views of the capital in the early twentieth century. The record dates the exposure to March 2, 1922, and notes that the glass is 8 by 6 inches, a common size for studio work of the period. Because the title came from data written on the negative or its sleeve and is not independently verified, the sitter's identity is best read as a studio's label rather than a confirmed fact. The notes also flag streaks and blemishes from the aging of the original coating, which are visible traces of the plate's own history.
