A short caption naming a "Wm. J. Harris of Ga." is the only identifying detail this glass negative offers, and the record notes that even the title is unverified. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, from a Washington, D.C., studio that produced many portraits and news pictures of officials, visitors and events around 1920. The date of about 1921 is inferred from neighboring negatives rather than from the image itself. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which result from natural deterioration of the original emulsion coatings.
