The title on this glass negative points to Eastern High School in Washington, D.C., and to a multigraph, a brand of office duplicating machine, so the picture may document equipment in a school office or classroom. The record's title comes from unverified notes made by the National Photo Company, which photographed the city extensively in the early twentieth century. The date is an estimate based on neighboring negatives from 1910 to 1920. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the collection in 1947. Streaks and other blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of its original coatings.
