A September 1923 glass negative titled "Nantucker," which the catalog says may have been supplied by the National Photo Company, the Washington, D.C., studio whose plates fill this collection. The title likely points to a native of Nantucket, the Massachusetts island known for its whaling past and, by the 1920s, its summer visitors, though the record does not confirm the subject. The Library of Congress received the negatives as a gift in 1947. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes, which come from deterioration in the original coating of the glass.
