The record identifies this glass negative as showing Danish athletes, with a date of October 4, 1923, though the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the subject is worth confirming. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. commercial studio active in the 1910s and 1920s, produced news and event pictures for newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives record the public life of that period. This example entered the Library of Congress as a gift from Herbert A. French in 1947. Visible streaks and blemishes on the plate come from the natural breakdown of its original coating, which is typical of glass negatives of this age.
