The title gives the subject as Fohl, Boston, but the record notes that this name comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so readers should treat the identification with some caution. The image is a 1924 glass negative from the National Photo Company Collection, a commercial firm whose work includes many views of Washington and other American cities in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives of this era often show streaks and blemishes as their original coatings deteriorate, and such marks may be visible across the surface. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
