The sitter is identified only as Willis C. Harvey of Oregon, a name the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, though the record notes that the label is unverified. The negative falls in the range of about 1918 to 1921, when the Washington, D.C., firm was producing large numbers of portraits and views for newspapers and magazines. Streaks and other blemishes in the glass come from the emulsion gradually deteriorating over the decades since the plate was made. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
