A portrait of a man named Roger Peckinpaugh Jr., dated July 21, 1924 in the caption data on the negative sleeve. The surname will be familiar to baseball fans, since Roger Peckinpaugh was a major league shortstop in the 1910s and 1920s, but the record does not say whether the sitter was related to him. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio whose glass negatives recorded everyday sitters and public figures in the early twentieth century. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings.
