This negative's title, abbreviated as "Dist. Commissioners group," points to a group portrait of the District of Columbia commissioners, the three-member board that governed Washington, D.C., for most of the early twentieth century. The title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the sitters are not identified here. The image is part of the National Photo Company Collection, a body of Washington negatives made roughly between 1910 and 1935 that documents the city's officials, streets, and public life. The plate shows streaks and other blemishes from natural deterioration of its original coatings, which affects how the image looks today. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
