Among the many portraits in the National Photo Company Collection, this glass negative stands out for its named sitter, Francisco Sanchez Latour, whose name was written on the negative or its sleeve by the company's staff in 1922. The record dates the exposure to May 23, 1922, which places the picture in the early years of the company's large studio output, when glass plates were still a common way to record people and places in Washington, D.C. Notably, the title comes from unverified data, so the identity of the sitter is not fully confirmed. The negative also shows streaks and blemishes from the slow decay of its original coating, a common trait of glass plates of this age.
