The title names a man, Wm. R. Wood, followed by "Ind.," though the record marks that label as unverified, so the abbreviation could refer to Indiana or to some other locality or affiliation. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company collection, from a Washington, D.C., studio that made many glass plates of people, streets, and public events in the early twentieth century. Glass was the standard medium of that era, which gave sharp detail but left plates prone to the streaks and coating loss visible on this example. Its date range of 1918 to 1921 places it in the years just after the First World War.
