This glass negative, dated April 14, 1927, is a portrait of a woman identified as Miss Eppes Hawes, though the name comes from a title the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., firm that documented the city's officials, society, and public events in the early twentieth century, so the picture reflects that studio's working practice. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of the period, and the streaks and blemishes visible on the surface come from the natural breakdown of the original emulsion coatings over time.
