A glass negative from the National Photo Company records a man identified as Chas. W. Waterman of Denver, Colorado, with a date of January 27, 1925. The name comes from data the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, which has not been independently verified, and the date is taken from a related negative in the same collection. The National Photo Company was a commercial firm that photographed cities and people across the country in the early twentieth century, so the plate offers a glimpse of its working practice. Viewers should also note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from natural deterioration of the original coating.
