The record titles this view "D.C. Red Cross ambulance," placing a Red Cross vehicle in Washington during the years around the First World War, when the organization's emergency transport work grew sharply. The glass negative came from the National Photo Company, a Washington studio that documented city streets, institutions and daily life in the early twentieth century. Its date is estimated from other negatives in the same group, so it falls somewhere between 1909 and 1920, and the title is unverified. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from deterioration of the original coating rather than from the scene itself.
