The title names a woman, Madam Gustof Weidel, and her children, but the National Photo Company's identification on the negative or its sleeve is unverified, so the sitters' names should be treated as tentative. The date of about 1924 is inferred from other negatives in the same range rather than from a confirmed record. The company worked in Washington, D.C., during these years, photographing residents for a broad public, and its glass plates were a common format of the period. Because this is a glass negative, its surface may show streaks and blemishes where the original coating has deteriorated. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
