George A. Kerson, Laurence Richey and Walter H. Newton are named in this glass negative's title, which is dated March 21, 1929, though the record notes that those names come from unverified notes on the negative or its sleeve. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, documented officials, visitors and civic life, and its glass plates make up a substantial part of the Library of Congress holdings. Herbert A. French gave this example in 1947, and its streaks and blemishes come from natural deterioration of the original coating.
