The caption on this 1923 glass negative pairs Mrs. Wm. Currey Story with the Hon. Henry Seth Chilton and dates the sitting to February 21, 1923, though those names come from unverified National Photo Company data. The company, based in Washington, D.C., produced a large body of portraits and press pictures of officials, society figures and visitors to the capital in the early twentieth century. The streaks and spots visible on the plate come from the emulsion breaking down over time, not from the original exposure, so they are worth keeping in mind when judging the image's clarity.
