The record names J.F. Schnell, listed as superintendent of the Battle cemetery, which ties this glass negative to the day-to-day running of a burial ground. The National Photo Company, which documented American towns, streets and institutions in the early twentieth century, likely made it between 1909 and 1919, a date estimated from neighboring negatives in the same range. The title comes from information the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. Glass plates of this age often show streaks and surface loss as the coating deteriorates, and this one does too. Herbert A. French gave it to the Library of Congress in 1947.
