This glass negative is a portrait of a man identified only as Henry L. Jost, with the title tied to Missouri, though the record notes that the caption came from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. The image dates to about 1923, a period when the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm known for mass-producing photographs of people and places across the country, was active. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that era, and they are fragile: the record points out streaks and blemishes from the breakdown of the original coatings, which are visible wear on the image rather than part of the scene itself.
