The title "Cole" is the only identifying detail for this glass negative, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified data written by the National Photo Company, so it may name a person, a street, or a business. The company photographed American cities and towns for decades, and its Detroit views from the 1920s reflect a city then growing rapidly as an automobile manufacturing center. The record also cautions that streaks and blemishes from deteriorating coatings may appear on the glass, a common condition for negatives of this age.
