The title identifies this glass negative's subject as William Gibbs McAdoo and his wife, with a date of November 9, 1923. McAdoo had served as Treasury Secretary under Woodrow Wilson, and his wife, Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, was the president's daughter, so the couple was closely tied to Washington politics in the years after the Wilson administration. The National Photo Company made many portraits of public figures for newspapers, which makes this image a useful record of that circle. The negative also shows streaks and blemishes from the natural breakdown of its original coatings, a reminder of how fragile glass plates can be.
