The title on this glass negative, "Nat. Fruit Co.," suggests a commercial subject, probably a fruit business photographed in the early 1920s, though the record does not say where the company was based or what it sold. The negative comes from the National Photo Company Collection, the Washington, D.C., studio that made large numbers of commercial, press and government photographs from the early 1900s into the 1930s. It reached the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947. Visitors should notice the streaks and blemishes across the glass, which catalogers attribute to natural deterioration of the original coatings.
