Harvey's & Lyceum Theater is the name written on this glass negative, which the National Photo Company applied to the plate or its sleeve, though the record notes the title is unverified. The 8 by 6 inch negative is dated between 1918 and 1928, a range based on other negatives in the same group. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., commercial studio, produced thousands of views of the city's streets, buildings, and businesses in the early twentieth century, so plates like this one document the public life of that era. The streaks and blemishes across the surface are typical of glass negatives whose original coatings have deteriorated over time.
