The title pairs two names, Winslow and Borah, and dates the glass negative to November 23, 1922. The record does not say who they were or what the sitting was for, and the title comes from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, so it has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company worked in Washington, D.C., during the 1910s and 1920s, photographing the city's streets, institutions, and people, and its glass plates are now valued as a record of that period. Viewers should expect streaks and blemishes from the aging of the original emulsion coating.
