The name R. Clint Cole is what sets this negative apart, though the record does not say who he was or what occasion brought him before the camera. The plate is one of many glass negatives made by the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that photographed people, buildings and events around the country in the early twentieth century. Its date falls between 1918 and 1921, when the company was producing large numbers of portraits and views. Look for the streaks and spots on the glass, which come from the coating breaking down over time rather than from the photographer's work.
