The title names Fewster, but the record notes that this label came from the National Photo Company's own data and has not been verified, so the subject remains uncertain. The negative is a 1924 glass plate, a format commercial photographers of the period often used for detailed city views. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., documented cities across the country in the early twentieth century, and its Cleveland work offers a glimpse of a Lake Erie industrial city in the 1920s. Viewers should notice the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which result from the natural deterioration of the original coatings.
