The name on this glass negative, Creth Hines, appears with the abbreviation "G.U." and the year '28, which may point to a Georgetown University student or graduate of the class of 1928, though the record does not confirm that reading. The image comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century. Because it survives as a glass plate, its surface shows streaks and blemishes from deterioration of the original coating, a common sign of age in negatives of this period.
