Its title, *Opening game, 1924*, comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the record does not confirm which game or ballpark it shows. Opening days in the 1920s drew large crowds and were treated as public occasions in many cities. Made on a glass plate, the negative shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, which is part of how it looks today. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., documented street life and public events from the early 1900s into the 1930s.
