This picture names Prince Don Gelasio Caetani, an Italian nobleman with a diplomatic career, standing with J.B. Wright on February 3, 1925. The title's "W.H." is probably shorthand for a building or location, but the record flags the caption as unverified, so the setting is uncertain. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., from the 1910s into the 1930s, producing many press portraits of visiting dignitaries and officials. Its glass negatives, like this one, sometimes show streaks and blemishes from the breakdown of the original emulsion, so the faint marks in the plate are part of its physical history.
