Three names anchor this glass negative: Lola Williams, Golden Bales and Florence Hasson. The record does not explain who they were or what brought them before the camera on May 1, 1929. Those names come from unverified data on the negative or its sleeve, so they are best read as a working title rather than a confirmed identification. The plate belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a Washington, D.C., studio whose glass negatives capture local life in the early twentieth century, and it reached the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Streaks and blemishes on the glass come from natural deterioration of its original coatings.
