The record identifies this glass negative as a portrait of Clifton N. McArthur of Oregon, though the title comes from unverified data written on the negative or its sleeve, so the identification is not fully confirmed. The date range of 1921 to 1922 places it in the early postwar years, when the National Photo Company, a commercial studio, made a large body of portraits and views of people and places across the country. McArthur later served in the U.S. House of Representatives from Oregon. Viewers should also notice the streaks and blemishes on the plate, which the cataloguers attribute to the natural breakdown of the original photographic coatings over time.
