What sets this picture apart is its title, which pairs two names, MacFadden and Brookhart, and dates the sitting to April 23, 1924. The Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data written by the National Photo Company, so the identities of the two men are not confirmed by the record. The company worked in Washington, D.C., and produced many news and portrait images in the 1910s through the 1930s, which makes this negative a useful record of the period's press photography. Streaks and blemishes on the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
