The corner of 11th and G Streets in downtown Washington is the setting here, where a group has gathered in front of the Peoples Drug Store. The picture belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, whose photographers recorded the city's streets, storefronts, and crowds in the years after the First World War. Its date of 1920 to 1921 is an estimate drawn from other negatives in the same range. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which come from the natural deterioration of the original coating.
