The title places J.J. McSwain of South Carolina at the center of this glass negative, which the National Photo Company made around 1921. The company, based in Washington, D.C., photographed public figures, officials and visitors to the capital during this period. The title comes from information the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified, so the identification should be read with that in mind. Streaks and other blemishes on the glass are the result of natural deterioration in the original coatings, and they are worth keeping in mind when judging the image's clarity.
