The Koo children stand beside a Christmas tree in this 8 by 6 inch glass negative, a format the National Photo Company used for its commercial work. The company operated in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, and its negatives later came to the Library of Congress as a gift in 1947. The 1919 date is inferred from related negatives in the same range, and the title comes from unverified notes on the negative or its sleeve. Look for streaks and blemishes across the image, which reflect natural deterioration of the original coatings on the glass.
