A glass negative labeled with the names Martha and Paul Durmont, though the record notes that these titles came from the National Photo Company and have not been verified. Its date of 1922 is inferred from neighboring negatives in the same range. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio, and 4 by 5 inch glass plates like this one were a common format for its studio work. Streaks and blemishes on the surface come from the natural breakdown of the original coatings, and Herbert A. French gave the plate to the Library of Congress in 1947.
