The name H.L. Almster appears on this glass negative, dated September 20, 1923, though the catalog notes that the title comes from unverified data written by the National Photo Company on the negative or its sleeve. That company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio whose work fills a large part of the Library's holdings from the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were the standard medium of that era, and the streaks and blemishes noted in the record are typical of the coating breaking down over time. The subject itself is not identified in the record, so the person's identity remains uncertain.
