The title names Weeks and Eugene A. Gilman and gives the date as May 10, 1924, though the catalog notes that this information is unverified and does not say what brought the two men before the camera. The negative belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, the work of a Washington, D.C., studio that operated from about 1906 to 1932 and recorded people and events in the capital. Glass plates like this were the standard medium of the period. The record also notes streaks and other blemishes caused by the gradual deterioration of the original coating, which can soften detail in places.
