A scoreboard device credited to someone named Coleman is the subject of this glass negative from August 2, 1924, though the title comes from unverified notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that photographed the city and its people over several decades and filled its collection with plates made for clients and publications. Glass negatives like this one were coated with light-sensitive emulsion, and the coating has deteriorated unevenly, leaving streaks and blemishes that are worth keeping in mind when viewing the image.
