The subject here is the unveiling of a statue of Crawford Williamson in the U.S. Capitol on March 30, 1926, a ceremony recorded on a glass negative by the National Photo Company. The firm, a Washington commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, documented official events, monuments, and public life in the capital, and its work captures the formal dress and crowds typical of such dedications. The record notes that the title comes from information written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. Viewers should also look for the streaks and spots that come from the natural breakdown of the original glass plate coating, which show the age of the negative itself.
