A man identified as Denby poses on crutches in this 1923 glass negative, a detail that sets it apart from the studio's many formal portraits. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm active in the early twentieth century, made large numbers of such plates for newspapers and public use. The date comes from a related negative, while the title is unverified, so the subject's full identity remains uncertain. Streaks and blemishes from deterioration of the original coatings are visible, as is common in glass plates of this age.
