The name on the negative sleeve, E.B. Mayfield of Texas, and the date of March 7, 1923, are the main details recorded for this sitter, though the title was supplied by the National Photo Company without independent verification. The company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the 1910s and 1920s, made many glass-plate portraits and news pictures, and this negative belongs to that body of work. Herbert A. French gave the collection to the Library of Congress in 1947. The glass shows streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of its original coating, which are a physical record of the plate's age.
