Nothing in the record names the men in this 1923 glass negative or says which ceremony they took part in, so the uniforms and the formal occasion are the main clues. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that recorded civic events, officials, and everyday street life, and it relied on glass negatives like this one. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947. Viewers may notice the streaks and blemishes the Library's notes attribute to deterioration in the original coatings, which are common on negatives of this age.
