The title names a single person, Elizabeth Hyde Sirvent, though the record flags it as unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so the identification should be treated as provisional. The National Photo Company operated in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century and made a large body of portraits, street views and documentary pictures on glass plates like this 8 by 6 inch example. Dated to about 1920 from its batch, the negative came to the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947. Visible streaks and blemishes come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings.
