The title places this glass negative at Burns in Philadelphia in 1924, but the label came from unverified data the National Photo Company recorded, so the exact subject is worth confirming. The company was a commercial studio that photographed streets, buildings and events in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives were later donated to institutions. The streaks and blemishes on this plate come from the natural breakdown of its original coatings over time, a common condition in glass negatives of this age.
