A glass negative made on September 14, 1921, records a portrait of Walter Gilbert Campbell, identified by the name the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The company ran a busy commercial studio in Washington, D.C., in the first decades of the twentieth century, and its portraits and street scenes capture the city's everyday life and its professional and social circles. The record notes that the title comes from unverified data, so the sitter's identity and circumstances are best treated as provisional. The negative also shows streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which is typical of glass plates of this age.
