The National Electrical Supply Co. is the subject of this 8 by 6 inch glass negative, which dates to between 1920 and 1921. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. commercial studio, made and kept plates like this one to record local firms and streetscapes during these years. The title was written on the negative or its sleeve by the company but has not been verified, and the date is inferred from negatives in the same range. As with many glass plates of this age, the coating has deteriorated, leaving streaks and blemishes.
