The label on this glass negative reads "F. Murphy, C.U., 1920," and "C.U." most likely means close-up, though the record does not confirm the sitter's identity or the place. The title comes from information the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the company's own notes are unverified. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century, photographing a wide range of local and national subjects, and this plate came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. The streaks and blemishes visible on the glass come from the coating breaking down over time, which affects how the image looks today.
