Taken at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on May 30, 1922, this glass negative records Dr. Otto Widfeldt, named in the title, at the ceremony for the new monument. The National Photo Company, a commercial firm that documented Washington life and events, made the image on glass plates like this one, a format widely used before flexible film. The title comes from the company's own notes and has not been independently verified, and the negative shows streaks and blemishes from the deterioration of its original coating, which is typical of plates of this age.
