Army officer Edwin C. Jadwin, listed in the record as a lieutenant general, is the subject of this portrait, dated October 3, 1929. The negative is on glass, a format the National Photo Company used heavily. The Washington, D.C., firm produced many news and portrait photographs of military and government figures in the 1920s and 1930s, often for newspaper reproduction. The title comes from data the company wrote on the negative itself, which has not been independently verified. The streaks and blemishes visible on the glass are typical of early negatives, where the original coating has deteriorated over time.
