The record ties this scene to the Easter egg roll during President Warren G. Harding's first spring in office, a yearly event on the White House grounds that dates to the 1870s. The picture comes from a glass negative made by the National Photo Company, a Washington studio that recorded daily life in the capital. The title's specific day, March 28, comes from unverified data, and the glass shows streaks from deterioration in its original coating.
