Charles A. Christopherson's name carries the initials S.D., which most likely points to his service as governor of South Dakota from 1917 to 1921, the years this glass negative is dated to. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio that documented politicians, officials and public events in the early twentieth century, produced portraits like this one for newspapers and public use. The record notes streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of the original coatings, a common sign of age in glass plates of this period.
