The title names Crandall's Savoy, a garden in Washington, D.C., though the record notes that the name came from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. The image is a glass negative from the National Photo Company, a firm that worked in the capital in the early 1900s and sold views of streets, buildings and gardens, many of them for postcards and souvenirs. Its date of about 1920 is based on negatives from the same range. Viewers may notice streaks and small blemishes, which come from the gradual breakdown of the original emulsion on the glass.
