A 1924 glass negative titled with the name Daniel E. Smith and the date April 4 is the main detail the record gives about this picture, though the title comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The company, based in Washington, D.C., made portraits and event photographs across the early twentieth century, and it worked on glass plates of this size. Streaks and blemishes visible on the plate come from the coating breaking down over time, a common condition in glass negatives of this age, and they serve as a record of the plate's long life in storage.
