The title on this glass negative names Krund Wefald and a son, and it is dated November 24, 1923, though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified information written on the negative sleeve. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio active in the early twentieth century, made large numbers of plates like this one for its clients and its own records. The record also notes streaks and blemishes from the aging of the original coating, which is typical of glass negatives of this age. Its arrival at the Library in 1947 as a gift from Herbert A. French helps explain how a studio's working plates came to be preserved in the national collection.
