Lillian Sander is named here as the sitter, and the date on the negative, May 15, 1922, places the portrait in the early 1920s, when the National Photo Company was producing a large volume of studio and commercial work in Washington, D.C. The company's glass negatives were made in a format of 4 by 5 inches or smaller, a size favored for quick portraits and publicity pictures. The record notes that the title comes from information the company wrote on the negatives or their sleeves, which has not been independently verified, so the identification rests on that original labeling. Visible streaks and blemishes are the result of natural deterioration in the glass coatings, and they are part of what the negative shows about its age.
