Pershing, the Army general, stands on a set of steps with several uniformed women whom the record does not identify, and the picture is dated 1923. By then John J. Pershing had led the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I and was serving as Army Chief of Staff. The National Photo Company, a Washington studio, documented official and public life in the capital in the early twentieth century. Its glass negatives often show streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of the original coatings, which is worth keeping in mind when judging the image's clarity.
