Fancy Carriage House

Taken near the juncture of 22nd and P St., NW, this photo also shows the elegant carriage house designed by Ogden Codman, Jr., which is now concealed along the facade by the former Apex nightclub.

Focal Plane Shutter

Evidently it was taken with a focal plane shutter, with the characteristic parallelogram distortion of panned background buildings.

Speed Graphic camera?

[Speed Graphics were film cameras. - Dave]

That face!

Another priceless photo of a real person, with a real expression, from the era when everyone else was stiffly posing. Shorpy warms the cockles of my hardened old heart.
