The title places this 8 by 6 inch glass negative with Lanza Motor Co. and a group of girls from Greenwich Village, though the library notes that the wording is unverified and was written on the negative or its sleeve. The National Photo Company was a commercial studio whose work covered businesses, events and city life, and this plate is dated to about 1920. Glass negatives like this one can show streaks and blemishes as the original coatings deteriorate, so some marks on the image may come from age rather than the scene itself.
