The subject here is a cake, titled for a Mrs. Arme, though that name comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative and has not been independently verified. The Washington, D.C., studio made many commercial and press pictures in the early twentieth century, and this plate is dated between 1918 and 1928 based on others in its range. Glass negatives like this one often show streaks and blemishes as the original coating deteriorates, and this example does. Herbert A. French gave it to the Library of Congress in 1947.
