The name on this glass negative is J. Mayhew Wainwright, with a date of March 14, 1921, though the catalogers note that both come from unverified information written on the negative or its sleeve. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., studio that made many portraits and news pictures in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates reached the Library of Congress as a gift in 1947. Viewers should expect streaks and other blemishes, which the original coating on the glass has picked up over time.
