The catalog title poses its subject as a question, "National Guard camp?", which signals that the label supplied by the National Photo Company was never confirmed. The scene likely shows a temporary encampment of citizen soldiers, since state militia units in the 1910s and 1920s often gathered for summer training in tent camps. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that documented the city and its events, and this negative came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. The streaks and blemishes on the glass come from deterioration of the original coating, not from the scene itself.
