Dated February 11, 1929, this glass negative is titled *The Patrician*, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. The National Photo Company, a commercial studio based in Washington, D.C., produced a large body of pictures in the early twentieth century, and glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that era. The record also points to streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of the original coatings, which are visible signs of the plate's age rather than part of the original scene.
