The names Mary Wallace and Dr. Chas. Bruggmann come from notes the National Photo Company wrote on this glass negative, and the record does not confirm who they were. The plate is dated May 3, 1924, based on a related negative in the collection. Glass plates were the standard working format for commercial studios of the period, and the National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., used them to make portraits and documentary views. Viewers may notice streaks and blemishes on the surface, which result from the gradual deterioration of the original coatings.
