Few things in this collection are as specific as a named player caught at the start of a season, and this glass negative records Nick Altroch at an opening game dated April 15, 1924. That was in the first days of the major league baseball season, when teams across the country opened with ceremonies and crowds. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio, made many such news and sports pictures during the 1910s and 1920s. Look for the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural deterioration of the original coatings and are part of the negative's age.
