The record names this glass negative "Metzger, Georgetown," a title the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The label is unverified, so the subject could be a family, a business, or a building tied to a person named Metzger in Georgetown, the Washington, D.C. neighborhood that began as a Potomac tobacco port in the 1700s. The National Photo Company documented the city's streets, buildings, and daily life during the early twentieth century, and this negative, dated around 1925, belongs to that body of work. Visible streaks and blemishes come from the deterioration of its original coating, which is part of the object's history.
