Among the many National Photo Company negatives in the Library of Congress, this 8 by 6 inch glass plate stands out for its subject: a Price School soccer team photographed in 1920. The title comes from information the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the Library notes that this has not been independently verified, so the team and school are best read as the studio's own record. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., worked from the early 1900s into the 1920s, photographing city life, schools, and public events, and its glass plates capture the look of everyday school athletics in that era. Visitors may also notice the streaks and blemishes the Library describes, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings.
