The title on this glass negative lists three names, Dawes, Butler, and Coolidge, but the record notes that this label came from the National Photo Company and has not been verified, so the sitting's purpose is unconfirmed. The date, July 1, 1924, falls during the months before that year's November presidential election, when Calvin Coolidge and Charles Dawes ran as the Republican ticket. The National Photo Company worked in Washington and recorded officials, public events, and visitors, which makes its plates a useful window onto the capital in the 1920s. The streaks and blemishes visible on the glass come from the original coatings deteriorating over time, a common condition in plates of this age.
