Few details come with this glass negative beyond the sitter's name, Lemuel P. Padgett, and the Tennessee reference in its title, which was taken from unverified information written on the negative or its sleeve. Its date of roughly 1918 to 1921 is inferred from neighboring negatives, a period when the National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., was producing many portraits of public figures. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947, and its surface shows streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of the original coating.
