Dated November 15, 1929, this glass negative is catalogued under the name Claudius H. Houston, though that title comes from information the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., from the 1910s into the 1930s, making large numbers of portraits, news pictures, and views of public life in the capital. The plate is a 4 by 5 inch glass negative, and it shows streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of its original coating, so the quality of any print made from it will reflect that wear.
