The title names a Dykaar and a row of presidential busts at the National Gallery, a pairing that sets this view apart from the many National Photo Company street and monument scenes of Washington. The company, active from about 1900 to the 1920s, sold views like this one to tourists and publishers, so the picture records how the capital presented its public art and civic memorials in the years before the 1930s. The glass negative shows streaks and surface blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of photographs of this era.
