Children crowding a lawn with painted eggs make this National Photo Company glass negative a record of the White House Easter egg roll, a tradition that dates to 1878. The studio was a Washington business that documented the city's events in the early twentieth century, and this scene falls within the Harding administration. The title and date of March 28, 1921, are unverified, and Easter that year fell in April, so the exact day is uncertain. Faint streaks and blemishes on the glass come from age in the original coating and are part of the negative's physical history.
