Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1910 is the setting this glass negative records, with the National Guard named in its title. That title is noted as unverified, so the unit and occasion remain uncertain. The town was still shaped by its 1863 battle, whose fields had become a national military park drawing veterans and visitors. The negative comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that made views of American towns and landmarks in the early twentieth century, and the streaks on its surface reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
