This glass negative, no larger than 4 by 5 inches, carries the title Elmer Dover and a date of September 6, 1923, though the record notes that both come from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. It belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, the work of a commercial studio that photographed Washington, D.C., and its people in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were coated with light-sensitive emulsion, and those coatings could deteriorate over time, so streaks and other blemishes may appear.
