The sitter is identified on the negative sleeve as Dr. Chas. F. Bolduan, though that title came from the National Photo Company's own notes and has not been independently verified. The Washington, D.C., firm worked in the early twentieth century producing portraits and news pictures of public figures, and its glass negatives were often stored and reused for years. Because the image is on glass, look for streaks and small spots in the coating. These come from the gradual breakdown of the original emulsion rather than from the subject or the photographer.
