A hand-lettered "No More War" banner is the focus of this glass negative, dated July 29, 1922, in the records. Banners like this were a common sight in the years after World War I, when many Americans still carried the memory of the 1914-1918 conflict and its enormous human cost. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, recorded street scenes, public gatherings, and everyday life in the capital, so the picture offers a snapshot of how peace sentiment was voiced in public. The record does not name the people or the exact occasion, so the banner's wording and the way it is held are the main clues to its message.
