The title on this glass negative, "Chas. Browne of N.J. &," points to a person or business named Charles Browne with a New Jersey connection, though the sleeve data that supplied it is unverified and the subject itself is not identified in the record. The National Photo Company, active in Washington, D.C., from the early 1900s into the 1930s, made large numbers of negatives like this one, and many were later donated to institutions. Its glass plates were coated by hand, so the streaks and blemishes visible on this example are a common result of age. They are a useful reminder that the image's surface has changed over the decades since it was made around 1923.
