A dated 1923 glass negative, labeled with the name Loehler and the date August 1, is the only identifying detail in its record, and the title comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so the subject itself remains unconfirmed. The Washington, D.C., firm worked as a commercial studio in the early twentieth century, and its negatives document a wide range of local people, places, and events. Glass plates like this one were coated with light-sensitive emulsion that can break down over time, which is why streaks and other blemishes often appear. Those marks are part of the negative's physical history and are worth noticing when viewing the image.
