The record gives this view the title "Lee Highway Assn.," a name that points to a road-promotion group tied to the Lee Highway, a route named for Robert E. Lee and built up as an automobile road in the 1910s and 1920s. The title was taken from data supplied by the National Photo Company and has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial firm that made thousands of glass-plate negatives of the capital and surrounding regions in the early twentieth century, when good roads were a popular civic cause. The plate shows some streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of glass negatives of this age.
