Dated January 1, 1924, this glass negative records a New Year reception, though its title comes from a label the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or sleeve and has not been independently verified. The company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that photographed the city's public life for decades, and New Year's Day receptions were a long-standing social custom there. Glass negatives like this one carry light-sensitive coatings that can streak and blemish as they deteriorate, so some marks on the image reflect age rather than the scene itself.
