The record names a Grand Admiral R.E. Perry and an anniversary ceremony dated April 6, 1929, though the catalog notes that the title came from unverified information on the negative or its sleeve, so the identity and occasion are best treated as provisional. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, the Washington, D.C., studio that recorded parades, public ceremonies and official events from the 1910s through the 1930s, making its glass plates a valuable view of civic life in the capital. The streaks and blemishes visible across the plate come from natural deterioration of the original coatings, a common condition in glass negatives of this age.
