A glass negative of Mr. and Mrs. Washburn with their child, dated October 24, 1923, is the original camera record from which prints of this portrait could be made. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that operated for several decades, produced many portraits and views of city life, and its negatives were later given to the Library of Congress. Viewers should notice the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which come from natural deterioration of the original coatings rather than from the photographer's choices. The title comes from unverified data on the negative or its sleeve, so the names and date should be read with that in mind.
