An unveiling ceremony on June 23, 1923, marks the subject here, though the record notes that the title comes from information written on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified. The picture is one of many made by the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that documented public life in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century. Commemorative unveilings like this one drew officials, local residents and the press, so the crowd and setting can reveal as much as the monument itself. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which result from the natural deterioration of the original coating.
