The record gives this glass negative the title *Bird* and dates it to 1921, though the library notes that the title was supplied without verification and that the subject is not otherwise described. Its surface shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of the original coating, a common condition in glass plates of this age. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a body of work from a Washington, D.C. commercial studio active in the early decades of the 1900s, and it came to the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947.
