Among the many portraits in the National Photo Company Collection, this glass negative stands out for its title, which names a sitter, Edward P. Farley, and a date written as 6/15/23, June 15, 1923. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that produced a large volume of images of the city's people, buildings and events in the early twentieth century, and many of its negatives were later donated to the Library of Congress. Because the title came from data written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been verified, the sitter's identity and the exact circumstances of the picture remain open to question. Viewers may also notice streaks and blemishes on the glass, which the record attributes to deterioration of the original coating.
