The name on this plate is Wm. H. Johnston, with July 18, 1924 recorded alongside it. The National Photo Company supplied that title on the negative or its sleeve, and the record flags it as unverified. The Washington, D.C., firm produced a large body of commercial and street photography in the 1910s and 1920s, and glass plates like this one were its standard working medium. Negatives of this age often show streaks and blemishes as their coatings deteriorate, so the marks visible here are part of the plate's own history.
