The record names two men, Wilbur and Jas. D. Fredericks, and dates the glass negative to April 16, 1924. The title came from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so the names and date are unverified and the sitters' identities are not documented here. The company ran a busy Washington, D.C. studio in the early twentieth century, and its negatives are valued as a record of everyday people and places in that period. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes, which come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion on glass plates like this one.
