Calvin Coolidge and the Salvation Army are the two subjects named in this November 5, 1923 negative, which sets it apart from other pictures of the president. Coolidge had taken office only three months earlier, after Warren G. Harding died in August 1923, so the picture captures him early in his term. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm known for press and news photographs, made glass negatives like this one in large numbers. Herbert A. French gave this example to the Library of Congress in 1947. Streaks and other blemishes from the gradual decay of the original coating are visible on the glass.
