The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of B.F. Brough, mayor of Toledo, Ohio, and dates it to about 1923, though the title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company produced a large body of news and portrait photographs of public figures in the 1910s and 1920s, and its glass plates were often used to supply newspapers and magazines with images of politicians and civic leaders. The notes also warn of streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of the original coating, which is typical of glass plates of this age.
