Lawrence C. Phipps served as a Republican U.S. senator from Colorado in the early 1920s, and this glass negative records him during the years when Washington officials sat often for press and studio portraits. It came from the National Photo Company, a Washington firm whose collection documents political and public figures of that era. The date is estimated from neighboring negatives, and the title is taken from unverified studio notes. Streaks and blemishes across the glass reflect natural deterioration of the original coating.
