The funeral of Rear Adml. Albert Winterhalter, a senior U.S. Navy officer, is the subject of this 1920 glass negative from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm known for news and event photography in the early twentieth century. Funerals for naval officers of flag rank typically drew uniformed escorts, formal honors, and attention from the press, so the image records both the ceremony and the public mourning that surrounded it. The glass plate shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which gives it a worn, textured look that is part of its physical history.
