A glass negative cataloged as "Dr. Grayson & Newspaper men" records a meeting between Dr. Grayson and a group of reporters, dated February 1, 1924. The title comes from an unverified note the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the date is taken from a related negative in the collection. The company worked in Washington, D.C., from the 1910s into the 1930s, producing news and portrait pictures for newspapers and other clients. Glass plates like this one were the standard medium of the period, and the streaks and blemishes on the surface reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
