Little is confirmed about the sitter of this glass negative, Gale H. Stalker of New York. The name comes from the National Photo Company's notes on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified, and the date of about 1923 is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same group. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., operated from the early 1900s into the 1930s, producing news and portrait photographs that now form a large body of visual record. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes across the surface, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings on glass plates of this age.
