The record names the subject as Ira S. Hersey and places the picture in Maine, but that title comes from notes on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified. The glass negative is dated to about 1921 to 1922, when the National Photo Company, a Boston firm, produced large numbers of pictures of New England places and people. The plate shows streaks and blemishes from the coating breaking down over time, which affects how the image reads today. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947.
