A Ford coupe stands outside a small house in Alexandria, Virginia, a detail that places an early automobile in an ordinary residential setting just across the Potomac from Washington. The picture is a glass negative from the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that recorded the capital region during the 1910s and early 1920s. Cars like this were becoming common among middle-class households, so the scene offers a modest record of motoring entering everyday life. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes across the image, which come from the natural deterioration of the original glass coatings.
