The sitter is Inez P. McWhorter, listed in the record with the parenthetical name "Harding Cook," which the catalog does not explain. The title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on its negatives or sleeves, and the Library of Congress has not verified it. The studio, based in Washington, D.C., made portraits and photographs of people and events across the first decades of the 1900s, and its glass negatives, dated here to about 1920, are now part of the Library's collection. Streaks and blemishes on this plate come from the original coating breaking down over time, so they are part of the negative's physical history.
