This glass negative, catalogued under the title "American Legion group," shows a gathering linked to the American Legion, the veterans' organization chartered by Congress in 1919 for those who had served in the First World War. The title came from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the library notes it has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion and the people pictured are uncertain. The date of 1926 or 1927 is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same batch. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio, recorded many civic events and groups in that era. Visible streaks and blemishes come from the deterioration of the original glass coating.
