Labeled as Danish athletes and dated October 4, 1923, this glass negative comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. firm that recorded news events and public life in the early twentieth century. The title was supplied by the company and has not been independently verified, so the particular team or occasion is not confirmed. Sporting life in Denmark during the 1920s centered on gymnastics clubs and growing participation in international competition. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from natural deterioration of the original coating.
