The record names this as a garden party, with "W.H." as the only identifying detail, and dates it to June 5, 1924, though the title and date come from unverified caption data on the negative sleeve. The National Photo Company, active in Washington, D.C., during the 1910s and 1920s, recorded many social gatherings, sporting events, and street scenes, and its glass negatives capture the formal dress and outdoor leisure of the period. Because the plate is a 4 by 5 inch glass negative, it has the fine detail typical of that format. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes from the emulsion's natural deterioration, which are part of the plate's physical history.
