What sets this negative apart is its title, "Herald tour," a label the National Photo Company wrote on the glass or its sleeve that has not been verified and may point to a newspaper or a publicity outing in Culpeper, Virginia. The negative is dated to about 1918 to 1921, when the Washington, D.C., firm was photographing towns and events across the region for postcards and publications. The streaks and blemishes on the glass come from the natural breakdown of its original coatings, and they are worth noticing because they show how the plate has aged since it was made.
