The subject of this portrait is Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, a career officer in the U.S. Navy, and the record dates the glass negative to January 12, 1923. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that produced large numbers of portraits and views in the early twentieth century, made the image, which reflects the formal portrait conventions of the period. The record notes that the title comes from unverified data supplied by the company, so the spelling and identification are worth checking against other sources. Visible streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of the original coating.
