The title pairs two surnames, Weeks and Roosevelt, and dates the negative to August 22, 1922, a year when Washington, D.C. was busy with national business. The National Photo Company, which worked in the capital from the early 1900s into the 1920s, made many portraits and event pictures of officials and visitors, and its glass plates were kept as a collection. This 4-by-5-inch glass negative shows the wear typical of such material, with streaks and blemishes from deterioration of the original coating, so some marks reflect age rather than the scene. The identities behind the titles are unverified in the record.
