The title "Pittsburg Hot Water Heaters" suggests a commercial subject, and this 4 by 5 inch glass negative dates to about 1921. The National Photo Company, active in the early twentieth century, documented American cities and businesses for publication and promotion, and its negatives capture the products and streetscapes of the period. The title comes from the company's own notes and has not been independently verified. Streaks and other blemishes on the glass are typical of this era, reflecting natural deterioration of the original coatings.
