The title ties this glass negative to a man identified as C.A. Newton, with "Mo." suggesting Missouri, though the Library notes that the label comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve. Dated to roughly 1921 to 1922 from neighboring negatives in the same range, it belongs to the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio whose glass plates document a broad span of early twentieth-century American life. The streaks and blemishes across its surface come from the coating breaking down over time, a common condition in glass negatives of this age, and they serve as a record of the plate's physical history.
