This glass negative is labeled with the names Calvin Coolidge, Dr. Sawyer, and Dr. Boone, though the catalogers note that the title comes from unverified information written by the National Photo Company. The record dates it to 1923, the year Coolidge became president, so the scene may come from his early months in Washington. The National Photo Company worked in the capital from the early 1900s into the 1930s, recording officials, visitors, and public events on glass plates like this one. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes the catalogers describe, which come from natural deterioration of the original coating rather than from the scene itself.
