The record identifies the sitter only as Oscar E. Keller of Minnesota, and that title comes from unverified notes on the negative or its sleeve, so treat the name as provisional. The glass plate belongs to the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, whose negatives were given to the Library of Congress by Herbert A. French in 1947. Dated by its neighbors to roughly 1921 to 1922, the small glass negative shows streaks and blemishes from natural deterioration of its original coating, marks that reveal much about the plate's age and handling.
