A glass negative from May 23, 1924, records a meeting between W.W. Cary and Theo. Roosevelt, though the names and date come from the National Photo Company's own notation and have not been independently verified. The company worked in Washington, D.C., from the 1900s into the 1930s, producing portraits and event pictures of officials and public figures for newspapers and magazines, so this plate fits that working pattern. Its streaks and blemishes reflect natural deterioration of the original coating, a common condition in plates of this age.
