The record names two men, D.A. Lyon and Edw. C., though the second surname is cut off, and it is dated June 2, 1923. The title comes from data written by the National Photo Company on the negative or its sleeve, so the names are not independently verified. The company worked in Washington, D.C., from about 1906 until 1932, producing a large body of commercial and documentary photographs. This glass negative came to the Library of Congress as a 1947 gift from Herbert A. French. Its streaks and blemishes are typical of age-related deterioration in the original coating.
