The subject is a woman named Adelia M. Hoyte, pictured in connection with a *Red Cross Blind Magazine*, a title that points to publishing for blind readers in the years after World War I. The Red Cross expanded its work with blinded veterans and civilians during and after the war, and embossed reading material was central to that effort. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active from about 1906 to the 1930s, produced thousands of such portraits and scenes of public life, so this negative belongs to a large body of documentary work from the capital. The glass plate shows the streaks and clouding typical of aging emulsions, and those marks are part of its physical history.
