The name on this glass negative, J. Gordon Yates, comes from a title the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the library notes that this information has not been independently verified. The negative dates to about 1920, when the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio, produced large numbers of portraits and views of the city and its people. Glass negatives like this one carried a light-sensitive emulsion that breaks down over time, so the streaks and blemishes visible here reflect decades of natural deterioration in the coating rather than anything in the original scene.
