Naval reserve members are the focus of this glass negative, which the National Photo Company dated to August 25, 1922, though that date and title come from unverified notes on the plate or its sleeve. After World War I, the Navy kept reservists on call through periodic drills, so images like this record a part of the service that rarely drew public attention. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947, and its surface shows streaks and blemishes from the natural decline of the original coating.
