The record gives the title "The Wonderful Virtues of Tobacco," linked to Simon Miller, but the Library of Congress notes that the wording comes from unverified data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so it is best read as a working label. The negative is dated between 1918 and 1928, a period when the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio, made large numbers of photographs for newspapers and other clients. Herbert A. French donated the negative to the Library in 1947. Streaks and blemishes across its surface come from the natural deterioration of the original emulsion coatings.
