This glass negative is a portrait of Thomas H. Cullen, identified in its title as a New York figure. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that operated in the years after 1914, produced many portraits of officials, professionals, and other public figures during this period. The record dates the plate to roughly 1918 to 1921, and it was donated to the Library of Congress by Herbert A. French in 1947. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the plate, which come from the natural breakdown of its original coating.
