Major Mite" reads like a stage name rather than a plain caption, which suggests the sitter was a performer billed for audiences, though the record does not say more. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., studio active in the early twentieth century, photographed people and events around the city, and its glass negatives later came to the Library of Congress as a gift in 1947. The date, December 7, 1922, comes from information written on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. Streaks and blemishes on the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
